Reviewer: Lionel Ross of Blues in Britai
Eight of the tracks are original compositions, including the funky “Crazy”, “In My Soul”, a slow blues significantly enhanced by some inventive guitar work, and the slow and bluesy “Tease You”. “You Don’t Know” has a funky/eastern feel to it and a driving, hypnotic beat; while the title song is an excellent slow ballad. “Coming Home” is another slow blues and one of the two live tracks on the album. The other two original numbers, “She Broke My Heart” and “Brown Instrumental”, whilst well composed and expertly performed, fit rather less readily into the blues-based inflection of the album. The two cover versions on the CD comprise a great version of “Suzie Q” and a splendid live performance of “Rollin’ and Tumblin’”. The album is very enjoyable and provides a testament to the considerable talent and versatility of Mark Koehorst. The variety and originality of his compositions and the freshness of his interpretation of the covers substantially endorse his claim of reinventing the blues.
