In the kid-blues sweepstakes, "Monster" Mike Welch was one of the first on
the scene and one who quickly got lost in the shuffle. This probably had more
than his actual talent on his instrument, never a real consideration in these
matters. Therefore in a move to distance himself from the pack and grab a
little credibility in the bargain, his third album finds him dropping the teeny
bopper "Monster Mike" tag, growing a beard, and scowling into the camera
whenever possible. Musically, this time around he shows little growth since his
previous two outings. Welch dials in every SRV-approved sound from his
Stratocaster and his playing is still highly derivative, offering note-for-note
guitar runs from everyone from Magic Sam to Albert Collins to B.B. King. To
his credit, however, Welch sounds less like a Stevie Ray "Vaughanabee" than
Kenny Wayne does, and if his vocals are wispy-kid embarrassing on tunes like
"Catch Me" and "My Love Belongs to You," he never tries to strangle his voice
to attain Johnny Lang's phony blues rasp. But nobody can deny that Welch
can play his rear end off; if all blues album were ever meant to be was one
big hot lick festival, then this one would rank as an all-time great.
