Sounds Like: CHECK OUT THE BOSTON BLUES SOCIETY REVIEW OF OUR NEW CD; 'Haggie Daggy Blues' at: http://www.bostonblues.com>>>>>Here are some quotes from Editor Karen Nugent; "On the local front, Boston's own ShadowBox Blues Band has produced a good six-track disc which inspires us to go see them live!">>>>>>"On “Flip, Flop and Fly†all six members do a terrific job with the tune, fusing together nicely in the bridge and throughout, with Hamparian’s smoky vocals at her best.">>>>>>"What is obvious is the fine harmonica playing by Barry Cohen, on virtually every song.">>>>>>"My favorite is the track, “Little By Little†on which Cohen has a particularly good solo, the bass line is perfect, and there is a super guitar solo by Glover, with plenty of wah-wah.">>>>>>" The song “Things Have Changed,†performed by rhythm guitarist David Lawless, is surprisingly good - Lawless sounds like the man himself (Dylan) - so let’s say Lawless sings a bit better than Bob. The band handles this tune very well, especially Glover on lead guitar for the bridge. It’s fast moving, even danceable, and thoroughly cool!">>>>>>"CHECK THIS GROUP OUT. I know I will, very soon. I bet they’re even better in a club!"<<<<<<
