I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Damn! I Spilled the Blues, by Brody Buster and it's quite good. Opening with Old Dogs, Brody Buster handles, lead vocal, guitar, harmonica and drums. You would think that one component or the other would suffer but it's clear right up front that he has mastered all of the trades. His vocal and harmonica work is clean and crisp and his guitar tone rich and warm. Stripped down rocker, Bad News, teams drums, vocal and guitar covering all the sounds of Black Keys and adding harmonica. Excellent! My favorite track on the release is guitar boogie, Alligator Blues with it's tight boogie guitar rhythm, harmonica trim and super lyrics. A real cool tune. Like 'em Like That follows in the same vein with an almost Houndog Taylor feel. Buster's guitar work is really cool and his harmonica work is strong. Super. Week Long has the texture of a dirty trucker with beads of sweat and Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. A gritty guitar lead and fluid harmonica lines give this track plenty of punch and Buster's vocals are poised and aggressive. Wrapping the release is Got The Blues, a real nice closer with powerful vocals, understated and crisp snare work. And, of course, Buster really knows how to work the harmonica making this an excellent closer.
