Karen Lawrence Hostel Records artist: Karen Lawrence - The Blues Is Back - New Release Review

 I just had the opportunity to review the newest release, The Blues Is Back, by Karen Lawrence and it has a real cool feel. Opening with shuffle, Made To Move, Karen Lawrence on lead really gets a slinky feel. Tony Saracene on guitar lays in some nice slide, with Bobby Donahoe on bass and Thomas Southworth on drums. Driving shuffle I'm Comin' Home is a really cool track with substantial slide work by Saracene and warm organ by by Max Butler. One of my favorites on the release. Title track, The Blues Is Back, is a nice showcase for Lawrence's vocal style and Saracene works the fretboard nicely against  keeping you rocking in your seat. Heaven's Masterpiece is an interesting ballad showcasingnish guitar styling by Saracene and solid vocal work by Lawrence. Wrapping the release is boogie track, Hold Onto Me with it's driving bass line by Ted Chatt and Dan Potruch on drums. Saracene again steps up with some tasty guitar riffs giving the track a stinging edge. Solid closer.
