It’s not every day, nor even every decade, that the blues world gets churned up by a talented, spirited newcomer such as pianist and singer-songwriter Veronica Lewis. At the frighteningly young age of seventeen, she has already scooped a cabinet-full of awards, including “Blues Artist of The Year” at the Boston Music Awards. Lewis has also toured extensively, performing at packed venues and festivals across the country, featuring in the National Women In Blues Showcase, and opening for the likes of Roomful of Blues and Eric Gales.
You Ain’t Unlucky, her debut album, gives us six Veronica Lewis originals and two covers, most of which showcase Lewis in a trio with drums and sax. “In difficult times, sometimes all you can control is how you look at things,” Lewis is quoted as saying. It’s a remarkably mature sentiment, the wisdom of which makes You Ain’t Unlucky a fascinating prospect.
Even without taking into account how early we are into what will surely be a long and celebrated career, You Ain’t Unlucky delivers a masterful set of high-energy rocking blues, from an artist of prodigious talent. You owe it to yourself to check it out. /Chris Wheatley
