CD ReviewsProbably their hottest album 06/13/1998 (4 out of 5 stars) "I guess you'd call this "jump-blues". Issued in 1991, but Amazon is still waiting for it to be issued. It is a theme album based on being on the road, all very hot blues. Each song tells a story with a subtle sense of humor, while staying within the strict rules of the blues. "Do not disturb" and "Motel King" lament the problems of motel living. "Phonebill Blues" is an x-wife's 3am call from L.A. to discuss her new beau (some relationships will not die). "Mad 'bout Something" sees James trying to dispell his girl's suspicions, but "Stranger Blues" is what sold me. A close rendition of a little-known Elmore James blues, harmonica/guitar lead to expand Elmore's original guitar and the sense of humor: "A stranger ain't nothing but a friend that you don't know". This is a hot Harman album with a small club feel. After his next album, "Two Sides to Every Story", he seems pressured to produce and his songs suffer. 1993 and earlier James Harman is always a very safe purchase!"
