Blues harp whiz Bob Corritore returns to his “& Friends” format with familiar voices, reliable good-time energy and always savvy harmonica play.  Alabama Mike’s scorching delivery on “Squeeze Me Baby” stands out as does Francine Reed’s supercharged take on Mr. C’s “I Don’t Need Your Permission”.  Bassist Bob Stroger’s “Train Fare” has the flavor of a classic track from the Excello label and Diunna Greenleaf should shock the airwaves with her work on the title track.  The varied band line-ups are always solid.
