Tiven in turn called on the likes of legendary Howlin\u2019 Wolf sideman Hubert Sumlin as a partner in writing several of the songs, and supplemented Turner\u2019s raspy vocals and electric guitar work with guest shots from Steve Cropper, Felix Cavaliere and Howard Tate, among others. Apart from an overwrought cover of \u201cGoing Down\u201d (with both Brian May and Leslie West on guitar), this is classic sounding, well-executed electric blues. And on occasion\u2014such as the gigolo ode \u201cBlue Hair Woman\u201d (written by Al Franken back when he was just a comedian), the cool acoustic-led shuffle of \u201cOne Way Ticket,\u201d and the gutbucket R&amp;B vibe of \u201cFoolin\u2019 Yourself\u201d\u2014it rises well above. \u2013Stuart Munro<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TROY TURNER Whole Lotta Blues [Evidence] Troy Turner has been putting out records since 1990, but this is only his fourth in those 20 years.
