		<description><![CDATA[Houston native Teresa James currently lives in Los Angeles where she has been working with her band &#34;The Rhythm Tramps&#34;. Their latest release is The Bottom Line. Teresa&#8217;s resume includes live performances with Asleep at the Wheel, Delbert McClinton, Levon Helm and Bonnie Raitt. Her band&#8217;s resume is equally impressive. This stellar unit has been playing many blues festivals around the country, on the ground and even on the water.&#160; Delbert McClinton hosts a yearly Sandy Beaches Blues Cruise which has featured Teresa the past 7 years. Not a bad gig! They call their sound &#34;Funky and Greasy, where New Orleans meets Texas Blues.&#34; &#160;One reviewer of her earlier work said &#34;Teresa James sings like a healthier Janis Joplin and a whiter Aretha Franklin...and plays piano like Dr. John&#8217;s little sister.&#34;&#160; Sound like fun?&#160; She is!

<p>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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; I like every cut on the album, especially the rockin&#8217; opener &quot;All Time Low.&quot; Other highlights are the slower &quot;How Am I Going to Stop Loving You,&quot; and the closer &quot;I Do My Drinkin&#8217; on the Weekend.&quot; &nbsp;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.</p>
