Originally issued in 1973 on Bruce Iglauer's then-new Alligator label, this is the
late, great Frank "Son" Seals' debut album, a supremely rough, tough affair
with some stinging lead guitar playing, tougher and less polished than Stevie
Ray Vaughan and at least as gritty as Johnny Winter and Buddy Guy.
Son Seals mines classic Chicago blues grooves on the swinging "Look Now,
Baby" and the slow "Cotton Pickin' Blues", and other highlights include the
grinding (and thoroughly unsentimental) "Your Love Is Like A Cancer", the
fiery "Mother-In-Law Blues", a genuine blues in the vein of Elmore James, and
the funky "How Could She Leave Me". But there are really no weak tracks
here at all, just forty minutes of slashing guitar playing and raw bluesy
goodness played by the stripped-down four-piece band (Seals, bassist John
Riley, drummer Charles Caldwell, and organ player Johnny "Big Moose"
Walker").
These compositions are less influenced by soul and rock than Seals' albums
would be just a few years later, so there are more traditional A-A-B-
arrangements here than on his other records, and his lead guitar playing is
sharp as shards of broken glass, as gritty as anything you'll ever hear on a
70s blues record. And while "The Son Seals Blues Band" is perhaps not as
instantly memorable as the best work of Muddy Waters or Howlin' Wolf, it is a
very enjoyable record even without an obvious replacement for "Hoochie
Coochie Man"!
