Limousine Blues
is Jan James' fifth album, and she's in prime position to shed her
Southern Rock Rep. She and producer/songwriting partner Craig Calvert
have come up with strong contemporary blues with a soulful edge
-- the only cover is "Chain of Fools" and nothing here would sound
out of place on Dusty in Memphis. The disc sounds super whether
the material is front-porch acoustic, cocktail-lounge swing, stop-time
shuffle, or sultry pop. James delivery is powerful, clear, unmannered
and witty.
