Review of Lucky Oil on My Hand

Anyone who appreciates acoustic blues played and sung well ought to check out Lucky Oil on My Hand (self-release), the second release from Richmond, Va., trio Sheryl Warner and the Southside Homewreckers.

Warner has a clear, authoritative voice and a dynamic but nicely unaffected style that works as well on "Trouble in Mind: as on Blind Blake's "Chump Man Blues." Excellent accompaniment helps; Rick Manson's supportive harp steps out front on "Sonny's Blues" and winds through other songs, and guitarist Gregg Kimball picks out songs from Delta ("Future Blues"), Piedmont (Corrinne, What Makes You Treat Me So?"), and Chicago ("No Matter How She Done It")traditions.
