"This is a fine record by Blues guitarist and singer Mel Brown. He plays with a trio (The Homewreckers)including the excellent pianist-organist John Lee. Mel Brown sing a few originals, Ray Charles's I believe to my soul, a great cover of Allen Toussaint's Get out of my life woman and Muddy Waters's Woman wanted. He lived the blues, he knows what it's all about and he has a good voice sometimes reminiscent of Percy Mayfield. His guitar playing is great, with a mix of singles lines and chords. But to me the highlight of the session is Lord have mercy on me on which Mel Brown is alone and plays piano wonderfully. This is true blues."
