LA based bluesmen The Mannish Boys have called on a number of blues names, including Junior Watson and Lynwood Slim to contribute to their fourth album, Lowdown Feelin’. This follows on from their highly praised 2007 offering, Big Plans, and sees them handle sons old and new with the same panache. Highlights include the big performance on the Chicago blues of ‘Lowdown Feelin’’, the vital 60s R&B instrumental, ‘You Don’t Love Me’ and ‘Chocolate Drop’ with Bobby Jones’ gritty vocal and a smooth performance from the band, and with so many guest slots you never really know what is coming next.
