Little Rachel - When A Blue Note Turns Red Hot

Rachel clearly had the Mojo working when recording this CD, as it conjures up a black and white scene in a smoky blues club of the early 50's. Displaying her full range both lyrically and vocally, the first three tracks stroll, rock and smooch almost effortlessly one after the next. The Hogs of Rhythm (virtuosos of old style music) serve up the perfect backing, especially when switching from a rocker to a dreamy song. "When A Blue Note Turns Red Hot", is a mixture of great, classic music styles - from old school Rhythm and Blues or black Rock and Roll, to a touch of Stax Soul plus Sam Cooke. Little Rachel sparkles and shines, and her soulful, sexy, sassiness shows through.
