Motor City Josh released Forty Four on his own Ford Music Co. imprint. Every blues man worth his salt has latched on to a Howlin’ Wolf tune or two in their career. Motor City Josh Ford is enamored enough of the blues giant to have released this collection of all Howlin’ Wolf covers. That he does so with sizzling chops and wholly impressive vocals speaks volumes to his talent. The CD, at least his 10th, features guest Jason Ricci’s harp on a handful of numbers, in addition to Ford’s band and other locals sitting in. The star of the show, however, is unquestionably Motor City Josh. He’s always been an enticing figure with his swagger and humor sharing equal space. Both are in abundance here. The opening title piece sets the hard driving pace, and his takes on “Spoonful,” “Evil Is Goin’ On,” “Back Door Man,” “I Ain’t Superstition,” “Sittin’ On Top pf the World,” “Little Red Rooster,” a rollicking “Wang Dang Doodle” and other Wolf classics does both the Wolf and Josh proud. This isn’t a mere album of covers – it’s a killer disc. Pretty impressive liners from Josh, as well! ---bluenight.com
