Joanne Shaw Taylor
Amoeba Review
Joanne Shaw Taylor shows off her expressive, husky vocals in addition to her impressive guitar chops on her latest, The Blues Album. Taylor delivers passionate versions of songs by Otis Rush, Peter Green, Albert King, Little Milton, Don Covay, James Ray and more, with a crack team of players including Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith, who produced the album. Tracks like “Stop Messin’ Round” (Green) and “Can’t You See What You’re Doing To Me” (King) are fiery blues numbers, while soulful highlights include “Let Me Down Easy” and “If You Gotta Make a Fool of Somebody” (Aretha Franklin).
