Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Two Incredible performances, two incredible songs.......2003-12-23

Two of the songs on this album are so good, I'd like to give it 5 stars, but there are several fillers, and the lyrics of "My Name Is Earl" [which continues "and I need a girl"] make me wonder if he was the bloke The Dixie Chicks despatched! Ooh, it makes me wonder!

The Loved One [hence the title] has a terrific 9/8 beat, with an infectious handclapping percussion and a simple, no-nonsense blues progression. Gerry Humphreys, the vocalist, is hot on this track, but even hotter on Everlovin' Man.

There are a few other tracks that are OK, including
Shake, Rattle and Roll
The Loverly Car
Sad, Dark Eyes
and
Blueberry Hill

but the album is worth it for the terrific two songs I have commented on above.

You will also enjoy INXS' version of The Loved One.

Recommended for lovers of good blues singing.
