Chart Attack

This veteran actor (Wiseguy, Highlander), television host, singer and musician has won two Juno Awards for best blues album, and this collection of covers and originals could put him in the running for a third. Steve Dawson produced and contributes his customary fine work on all things with strings. A soulful doo-wop cover of Bobby Womack's 1974 hit "Lookin' For A Love" is the most immediately satisfying track, while the mix of pedal steel and blues on "Lonely Blue Boy (Danny's Song)" is noteworthy along with the traditional gospel number "I Want My Crown."
