Album Review
MC Dizzy Jackson
Reviewed 2014-02-09
Solid stuff from Detroit-based guitarist w/ a collection of all originals except #3 (from The Band). Good R’n’R w/ blues, r&b, rootsy elements. Many guests including Jim Keltner on drums, Jimmy Vivino on gtr. Recorded live to two-track w/ no overdubs, edits. Strong throughout. No FCC’s.

*My Favorites*: 1, 2, 4, 6.

1. *(3:45) Slow / Mid. Mellow acoustic w/ back vcls.
2. *(5:24) Mid. R&B flair w/ horns, B3.
3. (4:39) Mid. The Band’s ‘Ophelia’. Nice faithful take.
4. *(6:08) Mid. Bluesy rocker w/ great gtr, drums.
5. (4:56) Slow / Mid. Bluesy mourner w/ solid gtr solo.
6. *(3:46) Mid. Sparse acoustic w/ nice soloing.
7. (3:41) Slow / Mid. Alternate of #1, virtually the same.
8. (5:20) Mid. Alternate of #2, virtually the same.
