After many, many years of performing, Debbie Bond has finally graced us with her first CD. In today’s blues world, the music is often dominated by electric guitarist who use vocals as a break between guitar solos. It’s always a relief to hear a recording where the instruments accompany the vocals instead of the other way around. Another thing I like about this recording is that nine of the fourteen tracks are written by Debbie and Mike.
If you ever had any doubts about the quality of musicians in Alabama, this CD will certainly erase them. There’s the horn section that sometimes provides a great Memphis feel. Topper Price lends his harmonica talents to several tunes including the acoustic slide blues “High Rider Blues”. This tune is all Debbie Bond, and she knows how to sing a ballad . . . I encourage everyone to grab this CD. Leonard Watkins, reviewer Alabama Blues Society, May 1998
