Those that follow the blues scene know that the field is crowed with musicians who are long on talent but short on originality and inspiration. This is particularly true of regional artists who can keep the dance floor filled all night with cover tunes but clear the room when they try to add one of their own tunes to the mix. Likewise their discs seldom rise above the "nice try" category due to the inclusion of well-worn chestnuts and recycled riffs. On this, his third disc, Larry "Weezil Malone" Fitz once again separates himself from the pack by focusing entirely on a diverse collection of quality original material. Backed by nimble keyboard work and a steady groove laid down on bass and drums,Fitz explores roots rock that would fit comfortably on a Sun Records collection, "Two In The Morning", straight Delta Blues that find their way into Chicago, "I Wish That You Would Love Me",  chugging Texas guitar blues on the instrumental number, "For Freddie", 70's style blues rock ballads, "Addiction", Memphis soul blues, "Nothing But Despair", rock and roll, "Wild and Free", and even a Grateful Dead style mid- tempo rocker, "One Hundred More Miles". Lyrically, Fitz takes on everything from mates who talk waaaaay too much,  "Yappin' Like That",  to making it through a jail stint by thinking of the beauty awaiting his release on "30 Days". While this disc recently won the WYCE Jammie Award for best local blues disc it is broader than that and should appeal to not only blues fans but to those who enjoy a rollicking rock number or two in their diet. ...Mark Smith, GR Press
