For secular aficionados, Darrell Mansfield is the red hot, choice-of-the-stars muso who has clocked up sessions with Jon Bon Jovi, Loverboy, Eddie Van Halen and Billy Idol. But for enthralled festival crowds at Greenbelt or Flevo, Darrell is the man to help the church re-discover the blues. An historical aside (well, make it brief. Ed.) It was revered blues singer Johnny Shines who once remarked, "church music and the blues is all one and the same" and blues giant T-Bone Walker who commented "of course the blues come a lot from the church...the first time I ever heard a boogie-woogie piano was the first time I went to church." ---Jan Willem Vink, crossrhythms.co.uk

If you have an ear for great Blues & Blues Rock played by an absolute maestro on the harp, backed up by tight, tight musicians, then just go out & buy this. Although I thought the cover of Crossroads to be a bit too fast & heavy - my personal taste only but, this will always be a Cream/Clapton song to me - there was no problem whatsoever with the rest. And, for Godsake, DO NOT leave this planet without at least once putting on the headphones, turning up the volume to your liking and listening to the last three tracks, covers of Classic Blues/Rock - It is just impossible to describe the quality of voice & harp & back-up! Highly recommend. --- Amazon Customer
