I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Healing Kind of Blues, from Val Starr & the Blues Rocket and it's a poppy mix of blues/rock tracks. Opening with Ridin' That Memphis High, Val Starr on vocal and rhythm guitar teams with Frankie Munz on harmonica up front, backed by John Ellis on bass, Paul Farman on drums and Tim Brisson on lead guitar. Mid paced ballad, Slow Blues Grinder gives Starr a nice chance to shine on vocal with the addition of Todd Morgan on organ and a solid lead guitar solo by Brisson. Shuffle track, Pretty Girl Blues, focuses on the dilemma faced by people as they age and the privilege's granted some based upon popularity. With a nice harmonica line by Munz and Debra Power on piano, a solid radio track. Wrapping the release is classic rock track, Get Over It with Starr on lead vocal and bold chords by Brisson and solid piano work by Power.
