The
bookend to the afore mentioned CD from Downchild is this live set from
2006 recorded and titled At The Palais Royale in Toronto, Canada. Frequent
visitors to Buffalo the band has been chugging along now for over thirty
five years and shows no signs of rust or slowing down. The band is not
so much innovators but torch bearers of traditional blues and doesn't usually
stray far from form. Nine of the eleven tracks here were written by founding
member Donnie Walsh with the other two from vocalist Chuck Jackson. It
also features another track The Blues Brothers had a hit with "(I Got Everything
I Need) Almost" written by Walsh. Others of note include "Going Dancing",
"I've Been A Fool", "Wednesday Night Blues", "Dew Drop Inn" and the instrumental
"Soaring". Go to www.downchild.com
