Spinning Coin

This album is a worthy successor to the Bluesbreakers' previous album 'Wake-up Call'. The newly recruited guitarist Buddy Whittington is brilliant. His fluid, virtuoso playing adds an exciting dimension to already strong material. Somehow the grandfather of British blues still had the fire in his belly to record a strong album almost 40 years after he began his storied career. But as long as one doesn't pine for the lack of blues and just enjoys "Mayall music" (however you want to classify it) this is worth more than a spin. The album is peppered with some great work, certainly on a par with 'Wake Up Call'. "Ain't No Brakeman", "Long Story Short", "Voodoo Music", "Fan The Flames" and of course the longest and last track of the album "Remember This".
