A new CD from Mad Man Blues is always enough reason to be cheerful. Even Ian Dury would have signed this statement. A few weeks ago, this new collection of songs has landed in my letterbox. As I've already mentioned somewhere, I'm always a bit nervous when I get an album from a band that I very much like. That question always is, can they meet the high expectations, that come naturally because of their previous output. Of all the current bands I'd like to name only Doctor's Order. But fear not, Mad Men Blues pull it off quite nicely and "Alligator Blues 2009" sits nicely in line with their other two CDs.

The band is as tight as always and the singer gives more than a twist to the overall sound of Mad Men Blues. Although I have to mention, in my opinion, he's taken himself a little bit back from earlier recordings. It's still right in the face, but you get the feeling, Pit Ryan has toned down a little. And I mean just a little. The vocals are first rate and very entertaining. It just clicks. Of course, the band is spot on and leaves nothing to be desired. I like it, the way they work through these ten tracks. Full marks! ~Roberto Pettarini
