Galea,
protégée and bassist for Popa Chubby, has released a solo
CD titled Diary of A Bad Housewife. Playing the blues with a woman’s perspective
the disc which was produced by Chubby features fourteen tracks. Mixing
cool cover tunes with some self penned tracks she holds her own among blues
artists. Her own originals include a duet with Chubby on “Let’s Run Together”,
the Motown sounding “One or Two Things”, the blues vamp “She’s Mean and
Evil” and the barrel house piano romp “Queen Shit”. Standout cover tracks
featured here are Willie Dixon’s “You Can’t Judge A Book By Looking At
The Cover”, Robert Johnson’s “Come On In My Kitchen”, Professor Longhair’s
“Tipitina”, Melanie’s “Brand New Key” and the Willy Deville/Jack Nitzsche
tune “Just Your Friends”. For more information on Galea and her CD Diary
