King’s Bluesville, XM Satellite Radio. http://www.xmradio.com/bbkingsbluesville RECENT REVIEW of Way of Blues in Illinois Blues by James “Skyy Dobro” Walker WKCC 91.1 FM – June 29, 2009: When a Blues radio DJ from WEFT returned from Mississippi and brought me a copy of Bill “Howl-N-Madd” Perry’s latest (and sixth) CD, I felt like a young Keith Richards. When Keith met Mick Jagger one of the first times, Mick was holding under his arm imported vinyl record albums from Chess Records in Chicago. Keith knew that meant deep blues. The same is true with Mississippi native Perry; here comes some deep electric and acoustic blues. “Every track is a solid winner … His guitar hits right in the gut … Here come some deep electric and acoustic blues … “The Way of Blues” opens with the romping-boogie title track. Atypical of the rest of the album, it’s performed in the droning poly rhythms associated with the North Mississippi hills musicians. According to the liner notes, the entire CD was recorded, mixed, and mastered at Studio 61 in Clarksdale MS, but the first two tracks sound live. …… Every track is a solid winner, but I just wish Perry could record under absolute first class conditions, like those afforded Alligator Records artists.
