Each having a long history of fronting their own bands and touring internationally, LZ Love & Lightning Red are now doing select concerts and tours on the strength of this live-in-the studio recording. This Soulful, Bluesy disc of two classics by Koko Taylor and Jimmy Reed (Wang Dang Doodle, Baby What You Want Me To Do) sprinkled among memorable originals highlight LZ Love’s powerful, gospel-influenced, soulful voice and Lightning Red’s mesmerizing slide guitar and bluesy vocals.
----------------------------------------------------------
Spurning studio gimmicks and today’s reliance on overdubs and multiple tracking, LZ & Red chose to do a “raw” authentic album reflecting their live duo performances. And the response has been overwhelming.
