Chances are you've never heard of Alvin Jett & The Phat noiZ Blues Band from East St. Louis. That's why it's good to get reacquainted with the reissue of their 2008 'How Long' album.
This shows that this was/is a band that mixed its blues with a lot of soul and funk with a very pleasant result. The band was a finalist at the International Blues Challenge in 2006. At the time of this album, the band consisted of Alvin Jett (vocals, guitar), Matt Davis (bass, vocals), Corey “Woody” Woodruff (drums) and Frank Bauer (saxophone). , vocals, ex-Jeremiah Johnson Band), on the album supplemented by Jeremy West (drums), Arthur “Mississippi” Wiliams (harmonica), who recorded with Boo Boo Davis and Sam Carr, Marcus Steinmann (keyboards) and Rich McDonough (slide guitar, ex-Soulard Blues Band). It opens with the energetic rocking shuffle Boogie To The Blues. A festive opener in which the band sounds like a rawer version of Big Twist & the Mellow Fellows with the lived-in blues vocals and piercing guitar of Alvin Jett. After that, Ain't Been The Same is a big pumping boogie with the moaning harmonica of Arthur "Mississippi" Wiliams. The sensitive side of the band is discussed in the intimate slow blues Angels Sing The Blues with soulful vocals and powerful moaning guitar work and the equally intimate My Baby's Place. The band is most convincing on the second half of the album. Bluesman is a slow soulful grooving song with warm horns and a boisterous swinging ending. China Doll is also a soulful blues song complete with a lady panting towards a climax... Then Borrowed Time is a fiercely funky song with biting guitar playing, followed by the equally funky and instrumental 7-47 Central Time. In Milk And Cookies the band moves towards the sound of Tower Of Power, but in a bluesy way. After the cheerfully sparkling Best Friend You Got, with swinging zydeco influences, the album ends with the sultry swamp boogie Down In The Delta.
For many, including me, this is a very pleasant new acquaintance with Alvin Jett & the Phat noiZ Blues Band!
