Lovable
Katie Webster had some high-profile help for this impressive comeback album --
Bonnie Raitt shares the vocal on "Somebody's on Your Case" and plays guitar on "On the Run";
Kim Wilson duets with
Webster for a cover of
Johnnie Taylor's "Who's Making Love" (a track that
Robert Cray contributes crisp guitar to). Throughout,
Webster's vocals are throatier than they used to be (she soulfully covers one-time mentor
Otis Redding's "Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa [Sad Song]" and "Try a Little Tenderness"), while her driving left hand still lays down some powerhouse boogie rhythms. ~ Bill Dahl
