True to the tradition with his harmonica work, NYC-bred, Chicago-based Matthew Skoller also keeps his blues very much in the present tense and personal with lyric sets such as his “Big Box Store Blues” and "Only In The Blues”.  He keeps things interesting as well with change-ups such as the steamy, seductive groove of “The Devil Ain’t Got No Music” and his historically engaging, autobiographical title track.
