Black Magic Johnson "Call Me"

(blackmagicjohnson.com) Reggie Britton's blues trio sounds like a top notch journeyman blues bar/lounge act, with one shining difference: most, if not all, of these dozen tracks are originals, even though you would believe them if they told you they were all blues standards. The epic "Love So Cold" is ten mighty minutes of "damn it's bluesy in here," "Crazy About You Baby" sounds like a genuine old time blues immortal, "She's Got Everything" is a groovy instant classic, and the sad and soulful title track makes you wish that damn woman would call his ass already! Call him!
