The band consists of MIKE BADER on vocals and guitar, DAVE BADER on bass, TOM "T-BONE" GIBLIN on keyboards, MIKE "BUTCHIE" O'CONNELL on drums and guest TOM BADER playing harp on several tracks. The CD, which features all original music, is a nice mix of different styles of blues while featuring straight forward blues as the mainstay.
The opening track sounds like a song written out of a real life experience, If not MIKE's, surely someone else's. It's titled "POWER SHAFT BLUES". On it, Mike sings that "she got the power, he got the shaft.....she got the house, he got the garage......she got the yacht, he got the raft.....he thought he had love, but it was just a mirage". Lyrically and vocally this is an outstanding track that features great blues guitar and organ playing.
"AUF WIEDERSEHEN BABY", is another straight up blues track that features fine harmonica playing by TOM and once again some very good vocals. On this one, MIKE's saying good bye to his lady in German as well as many other languages. His writing seems to mix in a little humor with a lot of reality.
The title track "CLEARCUTCASE OF THE BLUES" is a song about all of lifes problems. Although Mike may never solve any of them, he sure does a hell of a job singing about them. This is another track that features some excellent blues guitar and one of the highlights on this CD - the excellent keyboard playing of "T-BONE" - who, by the way, is no stranger to the blues scene. TOM GIBLIN has certainly been around the blues block a few times. He's recorded with Lonnie Brooks, toured with Mighty Joe Young, and played with Bryan Lee, Elvin Bishop and the late legend, Albert Collins.
"SHUFFLIN' IN A" is a quick, catchy, Cajun number that's all about the organ, while "NEVER TOO LATE" and "FUNKY ED" throw some reggae and funk into the mix.
"ANY KINDA DAY" ends the CD with the sort of blues that makes up most of "CLEARCUT CASE OF THE BLUES", good old straight up blues and lots of great guitar work.
