Mark Gresser - President - Long Island Blues Society
"Ever original and expansive, creative and expressive, electric Blues is given a chance to grow under the famed Motu touch. Recorded in 10/07, this session was the first time the band ever played together. They jam and boogie hard with Big Daddy’s bass and Ed Modzel pounding out and anchoring rhythm. Motu and George Gashonia share lead and Dolores Chetta provides timbred vocal variety and harmonies. A wide range of covers from Howlin’ Wolf, BB and Elmore James to Curtis Mayfield and Jorma or Memphis Minnie and Rev. Gary Davis take urban blues to modern soul to acoustic origins and Motu’s originals fit right in. As expected, these songs are taken in unexpected directions, making even the most commonly known classic in the canon sound fresh and different. Unusual rhythms and vocal deliveries render some of the material in a fashion reminiscent of the Dylan experience of”….hey, I know that song, I think……” This disk captures the true Motu making music and making it his way with his unstoppable creativity and output"
