Nine Below Zero have been around for a long time, blasting out British rhythm and blues in the good old style since 1977. Despite a hiatus in the 1980s and a number of changes in personnel - including, almost unthinkably, Mark Feltham, who was absent for nearly all of the 1990s - Nine Below Zero have proved they can survive against the odds and have clearly not lost their love of playing live.
From the title, 13 Shades of Blue may sound like a continuation of the British blues style, but instead we find an unexpected degree of evolution, both in the material and the style of delivery. Doubling the number of their touring personnel from four to eight has allowed an expansion of instruments and sounds, allowing Nine Below Zero to broaden their blues horizons and embrace the genres of funk, soul and Cajun. The songs are all covers but this time they sound like never before. No fewer than 20 musicians are credited on the album
Despite the introduction of a plethora of new instruments, the songs are still driven in the good old style by the guitar of Dennis Greaves. Laying the guitar sound over the big band sound is something Brian Setzer has been doing for years (albeit it on a much larger scale). For Nine Below Zero, the change of style was a risk - but it has paid off. 13 Shades of Blue is a triumph and one which breaks new ground while staying faithful to their own style.
