Blues
Louisiana artist Jovin Webb brought a jolt of blues fervor and soul power to the set of ABC’s “American Idol” four years ago, offering audiences a voice and persona quite different from what’s usually on display. Drifter brilliantly combines Webb’s evocative, soulful lead vocals and fierce harmonica backing. The first single “Bottom of a Bottle” excited fans intrigued by the mix of idiomatic influences and powerful performance. He delivers a powerhouse cover in the LP finale, a crackling version of Albert King’s “Born Under A Bad Sign.” Another more straightforward effort “Blues For A Reason” should also satisfy anyone who favors a more lyrical approach and performance in a traditional idiomatic fashion.
The overall result of Drifter is a top caliber album that signals the arrival of an impressive contemporary blues and soul powerhouse.
