Bevington has surrounded himself with some of the most talented individuals there is. Jim (FM) Kirkpatrick, is a wonderful guitarist and along with Scott Ralph he has crafted these tunes, ensuring the laid back “Bad, Bad Bad” has some summery, Clapton-esque vibes, and “Already Got The Blues” has a timeless air. You can imagine the bar-staff clearing up around them as it plays at the end of the night.
“The Blues Is Everywhere I Go” sees the vocal duties fall on Kate Robertson and Sarah Miller and they do a wonderful job, and a mark of the breadth of the material here is “Deep River” which has a big old riff to go with its huge dollop of soul.
Indeed, there is a real feel on this of anything goes. There’s people who like bands to have a “sound” and there is people – like me – who like the approach of a strand or two running through, but all kinds of different turns. To that end “I Got Time” is right from the New Jersey Boardwalk, and the one that follows, “It Was Over”, is from the more gritty Danny Bryant type of British Blues (albeit with the horn section).
“Heaven Above” is built on two things. First a harmonica lick (I assume from Ralph?) and a guitar riff that sounds like it’s going to turn into Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way” at any time.
More than anything, though, this is just a fun record. Underlined by “What Did I Drink Last Night?” (being tee-total I have no sympathy with any of them…..) but a particularly classy one too, as the ballad “Home Sweet Home” makes clear.
The title track is the last one here, and it is one of the most important. Ostensibly a delta blues type song, a work song from the southern belt, it deals with a mining disaster that befell the Sneyd Colliery in 1942 in Bevington’s home town of Stoke on Trent, it is confident end to a mighty fine record.
