JOB STRILES returns with this exciting release of 12 new songs. Job begins his exploration of the diverse styles of the Blues. In just the first three songs Job visits Texas, Mississippi, and Chicago. His Blues are a long journey as he attests in "Job Striles Walking Blues". It's a long rough road that ends with hope and optimism. Job ends up "Sitting on Top of the World".
Backed by the best of the West, Rob Rio on piano, the ever elusive Primordial Slim on harp, Rick Reed and Max Bangwell on bass and drums respectively, Job's original songs walk the fine line between modern and traditional. The lyrics are witty and tragic at the same time as on "Mean Mad Woman" and the semi nostalgic "Get Me on the Interstate".

JOB STRILES is one of the most dynamic and hard working Old School Bluesmen on the West Coast. For ten years he has graced and haunted the stage at the Blue Cafe in Long Beach. From Celveland to L.A., from Monterey to Mexico, Job has worked the clubs, tonks, and joints. Working with drummer Max Bangwell, boogie woogie piano great Rob Rio, and The Job Striles Band, Job has opened shows for James Harmen, Rod Piazza, the late Jimmy Rogers, R.L. Burnside, the J. Giels Band, Little Charlie and the Nightcats, Robert Lockwood Jr...just to name a few.
On this, Job Striles debut CD, Job pays tribute to some of his forefathers and influences: Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson, B.B. King, T-Bone Walker, and "Gatemouth" Brown. Job introduces his own brand of West Coast Blues and swinging guitar style on "She's The Only One For Me","Acting Like A Fool", and his tribute to L.A.'s oldest Blues club, "Babe and Ricky's Inn". The themes of his songs are traditional yet timeless. His lyrics are fraught with imagery and self effacing humor: like Uncle John telling a story on the front porch. His guitar playing is always original and creative. His music drips with soul like the grease from Mama's fried chicken.
