That motley crew of road warriors known as Roomful Of Blues has come up with another solid offering in Under One Roof. Fronted by the spunky vocals and harmonica of Sugar Ray Norcia, Roomful kicks in a variety of blues-based contexts from the driving opener "She'll Be So Fine" to the slow blues "Still Livin' In Prison", from a Basie-esque reading of "Smack Dab In The Middle" to a swinging Big Joe Turner-flavored "Switchin' In The Kitchen" to the Fats Domino-flavored novelty number "Rogue Elephant".

Guitarist Chris Vachon gets to strut his stuff on the aptly-named "We B 3", a Stevie Ray Vaughan-styled power trio rocker with bassist Ken "Doc" Grace and drummer John Rossi. And trombonist/producer Carl Querfurth gets to blow on the album's other instrumental, "Q's Blues". /Bill Milkowski, JazzTimes
