I don’t think it is possible for a Blues fan to have missed Joanne Shaw Taylor’s progression through the ranks of international Blues stars and her music at this point in time has a certain level of relaxed comfort to it – in short, she seems to be in a very happy place.
This single definitely carries that mood on. The base is a rootsy, funky feel and Kevin Shirley’s production builds it, adding backing vocals, piano and all. She has used some stunning musicians to back her up including Rob McNelly, Doug Lancio, Alison Prestwood, Jimmy Wallace, and Anton Fig.
Her voice is sassy and she has developed a drawl that fits perfectly with her guitar style. The lyrics unfold a tale of entrancement, spellbinding love, and the mystique of attraction, all delicately wrapped in Joanne's signature guitar brilliance.
"I originally wrote the music for my album 'Nobody's Fool' and intended for it to be an instrumental called 'Butterbeer Blues,'” Joanne recalls. “But then, I decided to give it lyrics and transform it into a fun, traditional acoustic blues song."
This will be a great live number I reckon.
