Boom Boom Steve V. & The Knockouts - Tuff Love

From the opening original tune, "Come Out Swinging," to the set-ending "Sad Hours," "Tuff Love" offers up 10 cuts of harp-fueled blues courtesy of Boom Boom Steve, one of the mainstays on the Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota blues scene. Steve takes the Mississippi saxophone to new heights on the "Sad Hours" instrumental. Little Walter would have appreciated and enjoyed this cover version and what high praise that is. Steve V's harmonica work is both assertive and sensitive, seamlessly moving through a range of emotion and skill. His playful demeanor and his compassion for people and music make him a class act.
