Lightnin’
Rod & The Thunderbolts new CD titled All American Blues is just what
the title says, all American blues that can be found being played in roadhouses
and biker bars from coast to coast. The band, whose members include Lightnin’
Rod Wilson-guitar and vocals, Peter Heydinger-bass, Don Bush-drums and
keyboards from ex-Bob Seeger and The Silver Bullet Band member, Bob Schultz
hit hard with a heavy blues rock style. “Bad Memories” starts off the CD
with a driving blues sound and is followed by the tile cut “All American
Blues” The slow blues sound of “It’s Over Baby” and “Take Care Of You”
are winners as well. Willie Dixon’s “Hoochie Coochie Man” gets a mean work
out from the band while the track “I May Not Be Politically Correct” is
self-explanatory. Other tracks of note include “Why Are You So Cold” and
“Two Shoed Boogie” For more info on Lightnin' Rod & The Thunderbolts
