A FRIENDLY HEADS-UP ON ONE OF THE BEST ROCK ALBUMS TO HIT IN 2011
Long one of the under-sung gems in American blues-rock, Chicago’s The Steepwater Band will release Clava, their best long-player to date on August 16. We’ve been crawling inside the advance they sent JamBase and keep finding new things we really dig with each spin. Nothing’s too gussied up so the honest grit and sweat of rock ‘n’ roll comes through loud and clear, and behind everything a crossroads right blues soul howls. Clava continues the group’s evolution by simply refining every promising aspect this taut trio has exhibited in the past. If you’re charged up by what The Black Keys or Black Crowes are putting down lately, there’s little doubt Clava will flip your wig big time. (Dennis Cook)

sorry - rude to visit and not comment. You put up some very interesting things here - I've gotten the Steepwater, Butch Walker and the Godfathers, and already had the Charlie Sayles, so as far as I'm concerned your slugging percentage is pretty high!
I like it. A little Peter Green sound in Vanishing Point a righteous 1st single in Remember The Taker. Not all your offerings are my "cup of tea" but every so often a great blend is discovered.
Thanks for the comments...I realize that not everyone will like ALL my posts and I'm OK with that.
I get tired of some of this stuff from time to time which is why I tend to roam about.
Thanks for the review. I am digging your you're selection. Though my favorite album of Steepwater is Songs from the 8th day. Need to listen to Clava now.
Thank you for turning me on to Steepwater Band! I must admit, i was very surprised how good they really are, hopefully they will come my way live,thanks again!
You bet! If you live in the midwest or Spain, you should be able to catch them as they seem to tour those areas more frequently.
