Eliza Neals - Sweet Or Mean (2019)

Gritty voiced Eliza Neals belts out the boogie blues with the juke jointing team of guitarist Popa Chubby, keyboarder Dave Keyes, bassist Chris Gambaro-Vega and drummer John Medieros Jr on this full fisted ep. A horn section supports the shuffling “Pawn Shop Blues” that has Neals growling like a hungry lioness, while Keyes’ dark organ oozes ominious moods while Neal years on the thunderous “Blackish Grey.” The team drives like a Mack Truck as they run through a brick wall on “”Bitten By The Blues” and Chubby makes the strings cry for mercy on “ Livin With Yo Mama.” A trip down the dusty roads on the acoustic “Knock Knock Knockin” has Neals rasping through her last breath. Gotta see this band in concert, if my hubcaps aren’t ripped off in the parking lot!
