“Pleasure Is My Business” has become an album with 16 dynamic songs, which don't really give you a moment of rest…

With “Bad Town” as the opener of the CD and with Umberto on slide guitar, the trend for this album has started immediately and clearly. This is music that the listener has to undergo… “Melon Man” sounds mystical, dreamy and could be a polyphonic Indian song. In “I Wanna Love You” Max Lugli again provides the intro with harmonica and all doors are opened a little further. The party is coming… “Mambo Jumbo” confirms and is carried by the dynamic rhythm with exotic slant of the rhythm section, with drummer Lele Zamperini. “Hard To Love” is a song with a very classic blues pattern and build. “Take Me Back To Texas” is rock & roll again. Umberto's voice sounds very American. The text refers to his American journey. It's a flood of Texas blues rolling out of the speakers. “Dallas” is partly started by the harmonica of Max Lugli. It is a drawn-out duel and interplay between guitar and harmonica. “Rock Little Girl” is a slow rock that provides a first rest on this album. “True Love” and “Talking About My Babe” are unobtrusive tracks in this expansive album. “Beautician Blues” is about a beautician and is the most rocking song on the album. It's another song with strong American influences. Henry Carpaneto, in Fats Domino style, can be heard here emphatically at the piano. He is also a guest on the following track: “Pleasure Is My Business”, the title track. The nasal vocals of Umberto give the song “Forth Worth Bound” extra color. “You're Still Mine” is another classic. Not an outlier, but very recognizable... “Jimmy Lee” is the transition to the final. Who is sung about in “Jimmy Lee”? A rocking American fan? In the last song “Drivin' Home” the rock & roll drips from the piano onto the stage. Strong ending full of glitter, gel and what belongs to rock & roll…

“Pleasure Is My Business” has become a blues rock CD with no room for detours or frills. Porcaro's voice and versatile guitar playing are central to all songs. The American influences dominate in this album. With the energy that the group radiates, she will quickly pack and carry the audience during the performances. Umberto Porcaro & The Shuffle Kings are power rockers, using an elaborate cocktail of uptempo jump blues from California and Chicago and unmistakable Texas rock.
