MAMA'S BLUES JOINT CD REVIEWED IN THE ENGLISH BLUES MAGAZINE "BLUESMATTERS" JUNE 2008;

MAMA'S BLUES JOINT
Mamas Records
I played this album without looking at the cover and believed,
because of the name, that the band was American and,
because of the vocals, that it was fronted by a well-schooled
black female singer.
The production sounded American and even the Stevie Wonder styled harmonica on 'Happy Dude' and the horn section on 'This Ain't Love' all contrived to add to that belief.
Imagine my surprise, then, when I discovered that the
vocalist in question is a young lady called Lene Stroyer and that
the band is Danish!
Nine tracks are all Stroyer originals and excellent quality they are, too.
The best is probably 'How Many Times', a beautiful love song.
In fact, matters of the heart are a consistent theme throughout, with titles like 'The Love That I Gave You', 'I'm Missing You' and 'My Heart Will Speak'.
Styles range from ballads through slow Blues to out and out rockers,
such as 'Mama Told Me'.
Willie Dixon's 'Spoonful' gets an outing
with a full sounding brass section livening up the whole, with the fat sounding Hammond organ adding its' chunky
sound.
The funky 'NoExceptionToTheRule' would make a
good dance track at any party.
Throughout, Stroyer is backed by a very tight four-piece, with added horn section on many of the numbers. A good introduction to Danish Blues..
