The music that came out of Memphis, Chicago, Atlanta, Detroit and other American cities in the 40s found a new friend in the electric guitar. In the hands of a skilled axman, nothing could better convey the mournful wailing and hectic existence that was the blues. The small "combo" amps of the time were all driven by the vacuum tube. Most of them had EL34s glowing in them, heating up the already soulful sound. They supplied the warm, gritty power that give the Blues and Rock & Roll their sound.
Keeping in that tradition, the EL34s will always keep their brand of High Energy Detroit Motor City Blues "as hot as a vacuum tube".
Howard is a born and bred Detroit 'Motorcity' man, who after spending some time experiencing the delights of Chicago returned to Detroit and subsequently went on to tour successfully worldwide for six years as one half of a highly acclaimed duo, the other half being 'Harmonica Shah,' since then Howard has decided to become his own man after the 'musical differences' between them caused a permanent split. Having formed the EL34's with Bob Goodwin on bass and Charles Stuart on drums, Howard completes the trio with electric and acoustic guitars and of course his eloquently delivered, soft, slightly hoarse voice. The band, I believe, have achieved the tricky (some might say the impossible) balance of merging rock with blues without losing sight (and sound) of the subtle nuances required of deftly played blues guitar. All thirteen of the numbers are Howard and the band originals: the two longest numbers "Sad Situation," lasting seven minutes and seven seconds and "The Dogs They Bark at Midnight," which at nine minutes and nineteen seconds, seem to finish all too quickly as one is compulsively drawn and immersed into the mixture of hard biting riffs and delicate soul touching picking complemented with hair straightening slide guitar.Special guest vocalists Maggie McCabe and Stephanie Johnson give fine support on "Going to Chicago," "Don't Love You No More," and "Smokin' and Drinkin'." There is a hint of a wilder side to this band with the (I presume) Hendrix influenced "Freedom," which lasts a mere one minute and forty six seconds. A very enjoyable album, I thoroughly recommend it! ~Review by Brian Harman.
