Free Music Review: Another Days Blues
Hit: 4 Stars
Trower's album from 2005 contains some Blues gems. Though it didn't chart domestically it's a strong album. It's a very good representation of what Electric Blues can be especially in the hands of a great guitarist of Trower's caliber. Also, as a plus, Davey Pattison is on board doing most of the vocals.
The album opens with "Inside Out" which is a toe-tapping gem which is straight ahead blues with a lot of rhythm. It's probably the outstanding cut of the album. This song was originally on the Someday Blues album with Trower doing lead vocal. Next is "Someday Blues" which was originally on the album of the same name from 1997. The difference with this version is Pattison doing the lead vocals; Trower had originally done the vocals on the previous version. "Someday Blues" is a slow paced song with Hammond organ prominent & a much more traditional styling of Blues. As always, Trower shines on his leads. "Sweet Little Angel", co-written by the legendary B. B. King, follows & was also originally from the Someday Blues album. Once again Trower's lead vocal is replaced by Pattison's. "21st Century Blues" is an update of his song "20th Century Blues" from the 1994 album of the same name. The song is more in the vein of traditional Blues & has Trower doing the lead vocal. "Next in Line" is originally from the Someday Blues album also with Pattison lead vocals replacing Trower's. "Go My Way" is a different version than the one on the Go My Way. This version is bluesier with Trower using a wah pedal to great effect. This version is much shorter than the original version. "Extermination Blues" is originally from the album Someday Blues also. This time Trower plays a wicked slide lead which is a rarity for him. Again Pattison lead vocal replaces Trower's original one. "Looking for a True Love" has Hazel Hernandez doing the lead vocal & the woman can pack a punch. As on many of these songs Hernandez's lead vocal replaces Trower's vocal that was on Someday Blues. "Shining Through" has the same pedigree as most of the songs on this album; the song comes from the same aforementioned album along with Pattison's lead vocals replacing Trower's. This version is a little longer & is similar musically as "Someday Blues" with the Hammond organ being a main instrument. Trower then does a cover version of blues great Robert Johnson; it's nowhere near the Cream version but is nearer the traditional version that Johnson recorded. "Feel So Bad" was written by another blues great, Chuck Willis, who was much more of a contemporary than Robert Johnson. Why is it that the Brits seem to appreciate America's great blues men more than we do? Next is "This Blue Love" & is apparently the only song that is unique to the album. Lead vocals are by Trower, they aren't bad but it's always debatable when he does so. "This Blue Love" is the weakest song on the album.
So you may ask "Why should I buy this album? I already own Someday Blues." My reply would be, "Because most of Trower's vocals are replaced, which is mostly a good thing, some of the songs have been remixed & some instruments have been rerecorded." Is this a ripoff? Some might consider it to be so, I simply consider it to be an upgrade. If you already own Someday Blues then it might be tough shelling out some hard earned money just to get different versions of the same songs. Up to you, doc.
