From the bucolic album cover art, one might be expecting some sensitive singer-songwriter fare a la early Joni Mitchell. Don't be fooled. Alex is the grandson of legendary bluesman Willie Dixon, and this disc is a fitting tribute to his legacy. That's not to say Alex is a traditionalist, by any means. This is blues with a butt-shakin' rock sensibility. Young Mr. Dixon, the keyboardist, has assembled an amazing ensemble of vocalists and musicians to create this beautifully self-produced disc. Special props to Alan Mirikitani for his stingin' guitar work. They even take on "Spoonful" and produce a fresh, dynamic rendition that grabs you and puts old EC to shame.
