"Fly Right" Hooch & The Bluesicians CD
Review
Dr. Blues - Long Island
Blues Society
A lean, mean Hooch flew onto the LIBTC stage, snagging a trip to
Memphis, where he will show the world just what's what with LI
blues. Corresponding to that triumph is his new disk, "Fly Right",
which holds forth with pure Windy City Blues power energized by
Paolucci's taut vocals, searing slide, coruscating wit, and
overwhelmingly lyrical harp. His regular band and a fantastic
roster of LI greats supports a roundup of 11 cuts. There are 6
originals and wildly righteous covers of BB, Albert King, Little
Charlie, Sir Musselwhite and Aaron Carter. Hooch's vocals have
enough Estrin sneer to burn 'em up and the groove of the spool is
fiery hot. The unmistakable talents of LI legend land including Sam
Taylor, Kerry Kearney, Pete Kiernan, Danny Kean, Tony Campo, and
Tommy Keys are found supporting a Chicago get down the likes of
which are rarely heard on this island. For Hooch, this disk has
been a catharsis, helping to exorcise demons and thus, the power and
impact of this disk stem from a healing by the Blues. The emotional
intensity, the instrumental clarity and the silky smooth production
are all labors of love that shout out "Fly Right." Well, fly it
right, bluesman and carry it to Memphis and beyond.
