Blues
Guitarist and singer Debbie Davies often edges into rock or country on her fourth album, but there's plenty here for the blues fan to like. From the rock-out shuffle of "A.C. Strut" to the brash cover of Otis Rush's "Homework" to the ironic humor of "Such a Fine Man," Davies firmly establishes herself in the ranks of up and coming blues guitarists. While the countryish flavor of the title track and "Time to Work Your Magic" may turn some listeners off, Davies hasn't forgotten her roots: "Blue and Lonesome," a ballad, is as bittersweet and moody as any blues fan could wish for. Formerly a member of Albert Collins's touring band, Davies seems to still be searching for her voice. When she finds it, she'll bring the house down.

**
Debbie Davies' fourth album, 1998's Round Every Corner, displays her bluesy singing, writing, and playing talents on 11 songs, including originals by Davies, some traditional songs, and covers. Davies' own songs range from the romantic "Such a Fine Man" to the upbeat "A.C. Strut," and she performs accomplished versions of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Who'll Stop the Rain" and the traditional "Blue and Lonesome." Davies' skillful, soulful take on the blues grows richer with time.
