Sometimes an artist delivers a project that is so difficult to assign a neat category and so artistically daring that you wonder if it's going to be 'understood' first time out. This fascinating amalgam of deep Southern Soul, Blues, Funk and the contemporary sounds of Black America is the vision of Tamara Peterson herself - supported by husband Lucky (himself no slouch when it comes to being both of today and true to his roots) and producer Steve Washington (who mainly works with real cutting edge Dallas R&B acts). Those lucky enough to have caught Tamara live will affirm that she's a singer of great warmth and expression - the Lucky and Tamara Peterson show is about the best there is on the circuit at the moment. So whether you approach this album from a Blues perspective, a Soul background or have just caught the show and are curious there is plenty here to recognize and plenty more to explore.
