Now here's a real curiosity. Dion DiMucci earned his role in pop history way back in the early 1960s thanks to massive hits like the karaoke stalwart The Wanderer. He may have been an Italian-American from the Bronx, but he insists that his inspiration was the blues, so here he is with his own blues album, in which he tackles well-known songs by such great bluesmen as Robert Johnson, Howlin' Wolf and Jimmy Reed, and then adds a burst of Hank Williams and even a stomping blues treatment of The Wanderer. It's a brave move, especially as he's backed only by his own overdubbed acoustic guitar and just a dash of percussion. His gently gutsy voice is still in good form, and so is his varied and driving guitar work, but it doesn't sustain a full album. There are impressive moments, but by the end he sounds like a club performer knocking out old favourites.
