Ana Popovic "Unconditional"

The CD cover features a naked Popovic carefully posed behind a Fender Strat—nice, but necessary? As is evident on this record, Popovic has big-league blues chops, so why the "sex sells" angle? Recorded at Piety Street studios in New Orleans, Unconditional captures just the right touch of Cajun romp 'n' stomp, with a guest slide solo from N'awlins native Sonny Landreth on "Slideshow" and excellent harp work by Jason Ricci on the standout track "Count Me In."
