I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Old Soul Live, rom Joe Flip and it cranks. Opening with Steve Ray Vaughan's Pride and Joy, Joe Flip shows he's got the chops to make Vaughan proud. Not sliding far from SRV's original arrangement this is a solid opener. On original track, Just Friends, Flip really gets things rocking, Chuck Berry style with driving guitar lead and vocal, Trent Boldt on bass, Mike DuBois on drums and Adam Daniel on keys. Freddie King's I'm Tore Down is up next with a solid shuffle rhythm. Daniel lays down a cool electric piano solo and Flip rips a cool guitar solo of his own. On Elmore James' The Sky Is Crying, Flip leans toward the Albert King/ SRV arrangement with a warm organ solo by Daniel and a ripping solo by Flip. Just Got Paid is the best of four ZZ Top covers with plenty of grind by Flip on guitar and tight drums work by DuBois. Wrapping the release is Hendrix's Voodoo Chile giving Flip plenty of space to jam. Trading guitar riffs with DuBois on drums this is a strong closer with plenty of oomph.
