Elliott and the Untouchables are a super foursome from Columbia, South Carolina. Everything about this CD is first-rate, from the cover art to the songwriting (all are originals). Elliott New doesn't sound like he's trying to win a speed contest when he plays guitar, nor would that be appropriate for this kind of music. It's a combination of swinging West Coast jump blues and Chicago-style burners. Guest performer Buddy Parker comes out smokin' on piano on the first song, "Sweet Little Woman." This is a song that would make Duke Robillard proud! Mike "Naz" Nazarenko deserves special recognition for his fine harp playing, especially when he gets out the chromatic. Not many play it this well. There is a nice balance among the instruments throughout this album. New has some very clever lyrics as well. Here's an excerpt from "More Than That": "More than a jockey can ride/More than a woman wants a ring/More than the river's wide/More than B.B. is King/I love you more than that." "Maurice's Mood" wraps up the CD with a heavy dose of smoky, instrumental jazz. Guest musician Skip Pearson's tenor sax and Elliott's guitar take the lead together on this tune that defies you not to snap your fingers.
