The clash of rock-solid blues harp with high-energy band backup on the first tack here may induce flashbacks of early Paul Butterfield records for some listeners but that’s just an indication of the freshness and unpretentious nature of this tasty set. The Beantown three-piece GA-20 has previously demonstrated a knack for seeking out great cover opportunities & their hook-up with harp master Mr. Musselwhite delivers big on that know-how. The previously-referred-to leadoff track is Willie Dixon’s “Crazy Love”. Guitarist Cody Nilsen flavors Elmore James’ “I Can’t Hold Out” with lap steel and torches it up vocally on “I’ll Change My Style”. Good stuff all over this one.
