I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Home Sweet Home, from Joe Flip and it's a cool mix or country rock and blues. Opening with title track, Home Sweet Home, Joe Flip on guitar and vocal leads this way on contemporary countrified rocker. With Tim Boldt on bass, Mike Dubois on drums, Toby Marshall on piano, and with Swanny Rose on backing vocals this is a super opener. Jimi Swing is a terrific blues rocker with a heavy bottom with strong guitar riffs by Flip and a tight bottom courtesy on Marshall on organ, Boldt on bass and Dubois on drums. Possibly my favorite track on the release. Krapkicker, Anna Lee, features Flip playing a ever growing guitar melody, both picking and on slide, over a cool country beat and Marshall on organ. Very cool. Put Your Lovin' On Me is a cool laid back, blues rocker with a country sting. With Marshall holding the beef on organ, Flip is free to jam the melody on lead guitar. SRV's Lenny gets a real nice remake maintaining the bass and drum arrangement but with a cool twist of Vaughan's spacy bluesy space dream. This is actually quite nice. Wrapping the release is Invictus, a cool, bluesy style folk instrumental with a soulful melody. Flip has put together a real nice release here.
