Negative Positive
Title: Nice Debut!
Review: Earwig records is a small label that has signed some pretty decent talent over the last several years including Big Jack Johnson "The Oil Man", Homesick James "Goin' Back In The Times", Pinetop Perkins "With the Blue Ice Band" and the lesser known Jimmy Dawkins "Kant Sheck These Bluze", Lovie Lee "Good Candy" Louisianna Red "Driftin' and H-Bomb Ferguson "Wiggin Out".Despite the lack of a handle, Liz fits well with this group offering a traditional, gospel-tinged, approach to the blues. Like her colleagues, Liz does more than belt out a few tunes. On this CD, she also proves to be a capable composer, guitarist and vocalist. Her low down and somewhat gruff voice sets the table for some rather tasty numbers and her guitar work is pretty darn good. Best tunes on the disc are the title track "Ready To Cheat" and the slow-blues slide guitar number "Reefer Woman". With this release, Liz appears on the verge of a breakout.
