Review by Lidianne Chaves

The album Hotshots by Ford Blues Band is a fantastic collection of blues tracks that will leave any fan of the genre satisfied. The band, led by guitarist and vocalist Patrick Ford, delivers a tight and polished performance that showcases their skills and passion for the blues.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Shake Your Boogie," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's musicianship is on full display, with each member contributing to the overall sound and feel of the track. Other standout tracks include the soulful "I Got a Mind to Give Up Living," the slow and bluesy "I'm Your Man," and the energetic "Down Home Girl."

Throughout the album, Ford's guitar playing is a highlight, with his solos and riffs adding depth and texture to each track. His vocals are also impressive, with a gritty and soulful tone that perfectly suits the blues genre.

Notes

  • Until you've walked in the boots of a wildland firefighter you have no idea of just how much they give of themselves physically and emotionally for very little pay or appreciation. In "Mendocino Hotshot Blues" I have tried to pass along a taste of what it's like. I've seen the day turn night as the smoke got so thick it blocked out the sun. I've seen the night turn day as flames lit up the sky like the sun had just come back up. I've seen fear on mens faces as things got out of hand and they began to ponder the possibilities. There are all kinds of blues in this world. Some you are born into, some just happen, and others you create yourself. Firefighters choose to do what they do and must accept the consequences. We should all be very thankful they have made that choice. This is my way of saying thanks.
