Fans of Memphis Slim, Marcia Ball, Janis Joplin and Otis Spann will enjoy this piano and drum based album of tunes written mostly by Wendy DeWitt, along with a cover of guitarists Steve Fruend and Tom Bucy's tribute to friendship "Folks Like You" and reinterpretations of the classics "29 Ways" and "Feel So Bad". Joined by Grammy Award recipient Mike Rinta's horn arrangements on "Trouble", "Sonoma County" and "Treat a Woman", bassist Steve Evans (Roy Rogers, Chris Cain, Ray Manzarek) on "Never Be Too Much" and Chicago legend Steve Fruend (Sunnyland Slim, Koko Taylor, Hubert Sumlin, Lee Jackson, Homesick James, Louis Myers, Big Walter Horton and Floyd Jones) on "Built To Last", "Feel So Bad", "29 Ways", "Folks Like You", "I Want to Believe You", and "Never Be Too Much" the mood travels from down home to downtown. With Strictly piano and drums on "Sometimes I Wonder" to funky bass driven groove on "Never Be Too Much" the selections keep it interesting, tell an emotional story of evolution, and satisfy fans of straight up blues piano. The horns were provided by trombonist Mike Rinta, trumpeter Tom Poole, and tenor saxophonist Keith Crossan. Wendy DeWitt is deeply involved in the West Coast blues scene and has worked with Steve Freund, Otis Rush, Big Time Sarah and Hank Ballard. Duo partner Kirk Harwood was a part of Norton Buffalo's Stampede and also worked with Roy Rogers and Clover. This is the third album produced by the duo of Wendy DeWitt with Kirk Harwood. Fans of boogie woogie are invited to join the fun at the annual Queens of Boogie Woogie and San Francisco International Boogie Woogie Festival, both produced by Wendy DeWitt.
