Dalannah and Owen: Been Around Awhile
By Track review of "Inner City Blues"It is on a more contemporary cover that the pair destroys genre designations. Marvin Gaye's "Inner City Blues" provides the two a durable vehicle with which to demonstrate that the blues are never very far away from the center of things. Over Veber's most impressionistic playing, Bowen reaches deep for the Gaye's tired and angry message. Bowen does not sing this as a "soul" song, she reaches to the bottom of the gutbucket and pulls out the authentic item...as real as Louis Armstrong and as pungent as delta dirt.
Personnel
Dalannah Bowen: vocals; Owen Veber: six-string bass.
