Dana Fuchs – Bliss
Avenue (Ruf Records).
This is Fuchs’ third album and follows 2011’s Love To Beg.
Opening with the eponymous title track, a rough and ready Blues Rock with Janis
Joplin vocal, she rips through 12 original songs. She’s not a one trick pony
and changes style with ease; there’s Country (Rodents In The Attic, Daddy’s
Little Girl, Nothin’ On My Mind), Rock (Vagabond Wind, How Did Things Get This
Way) and Blues (Handful Too Many). Despite her songs rarely sticking strictly
to one genre, one constant is her gravelly voice and this is used to best
effect on Livin’ On A Sunday, How Did Things Get This Way and Baby Love The Life.
David Blue.
