They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Well on his CD Joe Mack flatters the hell out of some of the best to ever pick up a guitar. All originals here, but the influences are clear. Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jeff Beck, B.B. King, Joe Satriani, and too many more to name, come shining through on this brilliant CD from the local bluesmaster.
The flavor may come from the influences, but the cooking is all Joe Mack. And cook he does. From tracks 1 to 12 and everywhere in between, Joe Mack plays the blues with an unbridled enthusiasm and ability seldom found north of the Mason-Dixon line.
The opening guitar lick of "They Say" is like a fish hook embedding itself into the base of your skull as it slowly reels you in. The title track "When I Think About Love" with Joe's raspy vocals accentuated by the backing vocals of Teisha Sawyer and Bethany Wright. The lighthearted "I Used To Have A Brain (Then I Got Married)" with its classic line "since I became Mr. Right, everything I do is wrong." The depressing "Peace of Mind" conjuring up images of a smoke-filled, darkened blues hall, an aging man at the end of the bar sipping his bourbon, contemplating life's mistakes. The exotic "Song For Jeanne," reminiscent of Stevie Rays' "Riviera Paradise." Beautifully written and performer. The all out jam of "Joes' Boogie". The foot stomping "Turnup Joe Zamp" (get it?) and the funky drive of "You Ain't What You Wear." "Hen House Blues" is a throwback to the way the blues used to be, while "Desperate" (I love this song) incorporates the best of everything the blues has become. "Mean Old Woman Blues" truly is as mean as a junkyard dog and the acoustic instrumental "Peppermint Stick" closes the CD with dramatic flair.
