"PET MY KITTY" - The CD of Course!
Jill Sharpe has Written All Songs, Played All Guitars and Self Produced, as well as, Arranged All Instrumentation and Vocalization on this Little Classic of American Music completely on her own. Featuring T-Bird Pianist FREDDIE KAPLAN (who has also played with Muddy Waters, T-Bone Walker, Howlin Wolf, Bonnie Raitt, etc, etc) has made this already phenomenal CD one the most under rated peices of music of our time!
CD REVIEW
Of the thirteen tracks on this recording, one of my favorites is Drunk On Love, a rocking number in the classic Texas roadhouse tradition, but flavored with a little West Coast Swing. The keyboards are excellent, both piano and organ, which makes this a great number to show off your moves on the dance floor.
I Got My Eye On You, begins with girlish chatter, then dives into a smooth blues boogie that swings with its suggestive lyrics and steady rhythm guitar. She blends her aggressive lead guitar with her solid rhythm like a seasoned veteran.
Red Hot Mama is another example of Jill combining Texas Blues with a little swing. (I love to drag out my 64-octave chromonica and play along with this one!) Jill’s vocal really shines and the piano solo again adds some happy boogie to the clean guitar riffs.
If you enjoy Blues that makes you want to get up and shake what the good Lord gave ya, you can’t go wrong with this CD.
Be sure to catch Jill Sharpe and her band and have some fun. Don’t forget to pick up her CD while you’re havin’ a ball and be sure to tell her Benny sent you.
