Way Down Here is the debut CD of David Vest and The Willing Victims. But this is not a band of neophytes. Far from it. Take notice: this may be the best collection of white bluesmen on the West Coast. When you hear the band, you may wonder why they got second billing. After all, Paul De Lay is probably the best living harmonic player, a savage fusion of Little Walter and Sonny Boy Williamson. De Lay trades licks with guitarist Alan Hager. That Hager isn't as well-known as Stevie Ray Vaughn or Jimmy Thackery is testament to the limp nature of current rock criticism. Hager may be the only white guitarist to ever catch the spirit as well as the sound of John Lee Hooker at his best and that's praise of the highest level in my book.
But Vest, who has played with both Tammy Wynette and Big Joe Turner, rises to the challenge of his all-star bandmates. His fingers blister the keyboards as if possessed by the spirit of the great Pete Johnson and he howls his vocals as viciously as Jerry Lee Lewis. Vest is also a brilliant songwriter, with the metaphorical skills of Dylan, the grit of Willie Dixon and the bawdy humor of Lightnin' Hopkins, all infused with a political spirit as informed as Ralph Nader's. You get the whole palette on Way Down Here: from Chicago blues, to boogie woogie, to New Orleans R&B, to gospel. This is hard-driving rock 'n' roll infused with a deep respect for the past--by the past, I don't mean Mozart, but Howlin' Wolf, Katie Webster and Fats Domino. This is rock and roll for grown ups. Dangerous, fast, addictive.
