Love Jones, the latest achievement of
Northern Arizona's Favorite Blues Band (Zene Magazine, 2004), will lead your
dancing spirit through an original landscape of shimmy-friendly, hot-rod
driving, zydeco-seasoned beats, and that's just for starters. Heartily applying
the explosive power of "Big Daddy" Darryl Porras and his aptly named
entourage, Love Jones shakes the versatile blues aficionado to the vital core.
It is a rare container of a live dance hall's exuberance, combining technical
artistry and heartfelt blues with such electricity it will jump-start any blues-jonesing
heart.
