Mitch Laddie - 2010 - This Time Around [256]

Mitch Laddie is the hot, new, young British Blues slinger, still shy of his twentieth birthday, and this is his debut album on the well respected Provogue label. Like many youngster it was the late Stevie Ray Vaughan who kickstarted his interest in the Blues, followed by the Three Kings: B.B, Freddie and Albert. Naturally, he formed a band - Vanilla Moon - and started playing the covers circuit in his North East of England home, at motorcycle rallies, festivals and pubs. The material is made up of ten originals, which definitely show songwriting strength, along with a dreadful cover of 'Papa's got A Brand New Bag' and a much better live rendition of B.B. King's 'Rock Me Baby', which was recorded live with Walter Trout's band at the Opera House in York.
