I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Sundown Rising, from Denise La Grassa and it's a solid blues rocker. Opening with title track, Sundown Rising, Denise La Grassa onlead vocal and organ leads the way with a tight rhythm by Mike Gee on drums, and Steven C. Manns on bass and John Kregor on guitars and featuring Pierre Lacocque on harmonica. Solid opener. On Big Bill Broonzy's Key To The Highway, La Grassa gives the track a twist with a funky bottom, adding Stephen Ryan on guitar some real nice harmonica work by Lacocque. Charging rocker, Vision Of Good Rule Makers features some real nice guitar work by Ryan and La Grassa on vocal and organ and backing by the Nunn Sisters. My favorite track on the release is funky, Sweet Talk, with bluesy vocals by La Grassa, flashy guitar riffs by Ryan and strong bottom by Gee and Manns. Wrapping the release is easy shuffle, Loving For Love's Sake anchored by by Gee's tight drum work.
