London based by way of Seattle band Lonesome Shack is a contemporary blues outfit fronted by Ben Todd, and the latest release, Desert Dreams, follows-up the 2016 double LP, The Switcher. The collection of songs found on Desert Dreams is sparse and primitive sounding but in a beautiful and authentic way. Album highlights include: the boot-stompin’ opening track “On The One”; the rambling “Past the Ditch”; the driving blues on “No Way Back”; the laidback upbeat vibe of “New Dream”; and the juke joint boogie and title-track “Desert Dreams.” If you are a fan of primitive hill country blues and/or rhythmic desert blues with a pinch of psychedelia, then you’re going to really enjoy Desert Dreams! – Written by JFelton
