Guitarist Weezil Malone, also known as Larry Fitzgerald, has been active in the blues world for over forty years. He is from West Michigan and has just released his twelfth album. Together with his bandmates Dave Alves (bass) and Karl Schantz (drums). And that album is filled with unpolished blues, stripped of any superfluous frills. What remains is rocking, funky blues with a high fuzz content.
You will immediately get to know their sound in All Over Again. A brooding boogie that pumps along fuzzingly. Weezil's vocals are just as gritty as his guitar playing. The funky sultry Children Of Night also sounds equally unpolished. Saxophonist Dan Giacobassi performs in the fuzzing funky blues Easier To Steal.Walked Away From Me creeps along filthy with Weezil's viciously scraping guitar. In On My Porch you're invited to a party in Weezil's yard via a nice funky blues rocker and since you're there anyway you'd better try Weezil's Whiskey as this is a very nasty slow boogie. After the soggy shuffle Take It Away, Weezil continues with the pumping He'll Be Gone in which influences such as Rory Gallagher and Jimi Hendrix can be found. Dave Alves' very funky bass opens the nicely groovy Desert Drive-In. Slowed Down is remotely reminiscent of Free's All Right Now, but as a powerful dirty version of this sound. The Diddley beat of Enough Is Enough closes the album. A wonderfully dirty blues album!
