High-energy blues harpist Santini and crew conduct a virtual clinic on blues entertainment with a “live” set that, whatever the tempo, maintains its drive and freshness throughout.  The leader’s supercharged harp & vocals are buoyed by solid, no-frills backup.  A funked-up take on Muddy Waters’ “One More Mile” stands out, as do “This Time Another Year” and “Have A Good Time”.
