The blues, no matter what anybody tries to tell you, is not about technicality (although skill is welcome), wildfire solos or even proficiency (although, once again, a level of skill is always preferable) – it is about feel. That elusive concept is what has fired BB King all these years, an artist who rarely bothers to touch his guitar unless the mood takes him and who forgets as many of the words as he remembers; it is the same concept that made Muddy Waters wild roar quiver with emotion and Hubert Sumlin’s guitar lines shimmer; and (for we’re not having this discussion completely without merit) it is that incomparable sense of feel that makes The Mudcats Blues trio a genuine pleasure to listen to. Not that this rambling monologue is some attempt to apologize for a lack of talent – the band play with a fiery skill that becomes increasingly apparent as the album draws you in – but it does much to explain why, if you’re a blues fan, you owe it to yourself to check this band out.
