J.B. RITCHIE
(1CD)
REVIEW
If you are looking for some original tunes you will need to look elsewhere. Ritchie and fellow band members Frank Brandy on Bass and Mark Binder on Drums sound like plenty of other bar bands covering the likes of Muddy Water's "She's Nineteen", "Champagne and Reefer, and "Trouble No More" as well as Willie Dixon's "I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man", "Shake It For Me" and "Little Red Rooster". Other covers consist of Elmore James, Chester Burnett and Jackie Brenston. The overall performance is average, with Ritchie lacking any notable tone or other stand out quality.
