Many have long celebrated the fact that this dyed-in-the-wool bluesman has never been one to give in to fads, excesses or over-the-top antics. Sugar Ray sings, plays and writes from his heart. This is apparent on Evening which also reunites Sugar Ray & the Bluetones with guitarist 'Monster' Mike Welch for this set of Chicago Blues. Whether it's Johnny Young's I'm Having A Ball, Otis Rush's You Know My Love or any number of the superbly crafted originals, Sugar Ray delivers - as do the Bluetones on this, their 5th album for Severn Records.
