CD Review - By Bob

Rod
Piazza has been playing the blues for over forty years. On his latest CD
titled Thrillville he is joined by his longtime outfit The Might Flyers
(Henry Carvajal/guitars, Dave Kida/drums and his wife Honey Piazza on piano
and thunder bass). Piazza is an ace harp player from the Junior Wells/Little
Walter/Slim Harpo school of Chicago blues. Lots of good stuff here including
"Hate to See You Go/Shake Your Hips", the blues shuffle "Sugar", and "Hoodoo
Man Blues" featuring some nice piano from Honey, the horn fortified "Honey
Bee" and the thrilling instrumental "The Civilian". My favorite tracks
here include the break up blues of "It Can't Be True" and "Sad Hours" which
invokes a 50's style stroll. For more on Rod Piazza and his latest titled
Thrillville go to www.themightyflyers.com
