...piano and horn back-up 2. I've Lost My Baby - Slow Blues, Jeremy on vocals and a different style of playing the slide 3. Rollin' Man - A fun song with lyrics you can read anything into, good guitar too 4. Dust My Broom - An Elmore James classic, written by Robert Johnson, Jeremy Spencer excels 5. Love That Burns - A really slow Blues the song is in my view excellent even for non Blues fans, features horns and Peter on vocals 6. Doctor Brown - Another featuring Jeremy Spencer, this is one of the similar syle Elmore type songs 7. Need Your Love Tonight - Jeremy Spencer again but not the usual slide this is more rocking on vocals too 8. If You Be My Baby - The first song on Gary Moores "Blues for Greeny" shows Peters talent...

...My taste in music is Catholic. In hat my taste in music is wide and varied. Which is why you will find me writing reviews on a wide range of musical styles and genres. One of my passions is the Blues. This review is a review of Comin' Home to the Blues, volume II. This really is a classic CD if its type. It sounds like a Whose Who in Blues Hall of Fame.

...This is a good and cheap selection of some of the greatest blues musicians ever. The collection opens predictably with a muddy waters track (rollin’ stone) although probably not his best and then there appears the great elmore james performance on slide guitar in ‘dust my broom’ – a fantastically modern style of blues for the time. The j l hooker song is not ‘boom, boom’ thank god and the howlin’ wolf track ‘smokestack lightning’ features as track 9, this is a great song and I think once a budweiser advert song. There is a beautifully rough recording of memphis slim’s ‘guess I’m a fool’ towards the end which is for me the pick of the tracks. This is a solid album, nothing too new, but touches all the bases and is successful.... Read review
