Hot Cottage With Walter "Shakey" Horton - Joe Chicago

Review by Carlos Navarro Suñer

Hot Cottage With Walter "Shakey" Horton's album Joe Chicago is a blues lover's dream come true. The album is a perfect blend of traditional Chicago blues and modern blues-rock, showcasing the talents of both the band and the legendary harmonica player, Horton.

The album kicks off with the title track, "Joe Chicago," a hard-hitting blues-rock number with a catchy guitar riff and Horton's signature harmonica sound. The band's tight rhythm section and the gritty vocals of lead singer Joe Carducci make this track a standout.

Other highlights include the slow-burning blues ballad "I'm a Lonely Man," where Horton's mournful harmonica perfectly complements the song's melancholic lyrics, and the upbeat shuffle "Shakey's Boogie," which features some impressive guitar work from the band.

Summary by Carlos Navarro Suñer

Joe Chicago is a must-have for any blues fan. Hot Cottage and Walter "Shakey" Horton have created an album that pays homage to the rich blues tradition of Chicago while also bringing their own modern twist to the genre. Highly recommended.
