Title: not quite THAT hot..
Product review: I had very high hopes for this album, but I can't help finding it pretty derivative - although musicianship is solid, there's nothing TOO exciting going on. I guess I was expecting a more inspired offering form the controversial and mercurial Mr. Turner. Many tunes (written by WHOM, extacly?) are makeovers of already existing material, albeit with new/other lyrics. For example, "Ike's Theme" is merely Freddie King's "The Stumble" rehashed, and lacking the catchy hook of the original. On the up side: Ike's vocals are raw, strong and punchy, PLUS he's wearing a nasty lime green jacket, so some credit IS due.
