Running Whiskey has a distinctive ZZ Top sound, probably because it was co-written by Billy G., and features him on guitar and vocals. Miracle Man is straight up slow, twangy blues. Ain’t No Love is a slow paced ballad. Bone Bucket Blues is an up paced shuffle. Let’s Call It a Day is a nice apologetic ballad featuring Robben Ford. Watchagonnado is a slower paced bluesy relationship driven song. Can’t Take It No More is a slow eerie ballad featuring Walter Trout. Let it Be is a ballad blues song, not a Beatles cover.
The lyrics on a lot of the songs (surprise) are standard blues issues, relationship based. There’s definitely a lot of blues licks and guitar work on this release. A little bit of harp and B3 are occasionally mixed in. For all you blues guys, here’s a new release with a lot of your favorite players!
