XVI

US-Import!

Eight years and miles of grime and grit that goes along with being a troubadour has led to this – the Blindside Blues Band’s “XVI”, an 11-track barnburner produced by Mike Onesko and co-produced by Brandon Youngs. It goes without saying that “XVI” is a culmination of a seasoned blues band with 15 other albums under their belt; what’s left to be said is laid out between the grooves and sultry licks. From the bright opener “Shine On Through” to the chasing “Better Days” and closer, “Broken Man”, BBB offers diehard fans a heavy taste of the core sound that has carried the band since its 1993 self-titled debut. Never ones to not move the pendulum forward, “XVI” also adds enough sweat equity into a tight, present sound.
