This band is a full scale blues attack- horns, guitar, organ, piano and gritty vocals (think Roomful of Blues with female vocals); the kind of stuff you love to hear in a small blues club with the band on a small stage. Although I always feel this type of music is better live, this album definitely captures the energy and excitement of Teresa James. (She also has a live album available!) Most of these songs were written by her bassist (and husband) Terry Wilson. I like every cut on the album, especially the rockin’ opener "All Time Low." Other highlights are the slower "How Am I Going to Stop Loving You," and the closer "I Do My Drinkin’ on the Weekend." There truly is not a bad song in the bunch. If your ears are in need of some great blues, definitely pick up The Bottom Line.
