Time Bomb – Time Bomb (Ruf Records).
German blues label Ruf have a reputation of showcasing rising North American blues artists in Europe. The latest of these are three female singer/guitarists Sue Foley (Canada), Deborah Coleman (USA) and Roxanne Potvin (Canada), collectively known as Time Bomb. The Telecaster (I love Sue Foley’s Paisley pattern one) wielding trio strut their stuff on the eponymous title track, which is a festival of guitar playing as all three showcase their skills. Hitting On Nothing has Potvin on lead vocal and is classic R&B. This is a stylish song and shows that these girls can certainly play. Sue Foley takes on lead vocal for the Country flecked stormer, So Far, and shows herself to be a very good singer indeed; probably the best of the three. Talking Loud has the third of the trio, Deborah Coleman, on vocal. This is funky and has plenty of attitude. Strong Enough To Hold You has Roxanne on lead vocal but it is a nondescript ballad.
Sue Foley returns on Show Me, a great bar room blues with a sleazy vocal. Motor City is a driving blues with Coleman on vocal but is not too inspiring. Get Up has a Pretty Woman style drum beat from Billy Thommes and Potvin takes the vocal. The only thing that this funky R&B is missing is a more powerful bass line. Two Moons Gone is Foley’s final song and she signs off in fine form on this speedy blues. Don’t Start The Car has a good blues riff and has Coleman on vox -- great rock stuff. In The Basement closes the set and has all three on vocal. They all bring different facets to the table on this R&B mix and provide a good finish. Sue Foley is the most experienced of this trio, having already released ten albums but I am sure that she, and the other two, will go on from strength to strength on the back of this album.
