Article translated from French:
“Superb! Here is a group unknown to the battalion and that we are happy to discover. They come to us from Milwaukee in Wisconsin and bear this name in homage to the great drummer of New Orleans Charles “Hungry” Williams, the mainstay of many sessions in this good old Cossimo Mattassa studio. The decor is set and the music that goes with it has a strong New Orleans accent: covers of songs by Smiley Lewis ( Go On Fool , Hook Line and Sinker ), Paul Gayten ( For You My Love ), Eddie Bo ( Where’s My Baby ), plus a few pearls from Sugar boy Crawford, Jessie Hill and Tommy Ridgley topped off with gems from Lowman Pauling, Ruth Brown, Don and Dewey, Wynona Carr and even a great version of Whole Lotta Shakin ‘Goin’on completely original and which owes nothing to the Killer. The singer Kelli Gonzalez does just the right thing, without aggressiveness but with talent, the musicians have a hell of a sin, get their feet and know how to transmit their pleasure to play for a pleasant record from start to finish. Regenerating with a current sound: all these pieces find a new youth.
Hats off!”
