[.ca] Living In The Danger Zone

Living in the Danger Zone:
I've loved the blues since high school and I can say that Son Seals is one of the most original, kick-bum blues artists I've heard yet. This album is worth every penny. I've been looking for it in stores, but it's hard to find. A good mix of urban blues, ballads, humor and Son's signature guitar.

Great Music and Clever Lyrics!:
Son Seals 1991 Alligator release "Living In The Danger Zone" is arguably one of Seal's finest studio releases to date. His best live performances being "Live and Burning" and "Spontaneous Combustion". Like the live disc's, Danger Zone features and abundance of gritty vocals and piercing guitar solo's in the style of Albert King. The songs on the disc range from the humorous "Frigidaire Woman" to the slow blues number "Danger Zone" to the funky "Bad Axe" to a ballad like "My Life". Seal's is a natural for the blues. He was born in Osceola Arkansas and, as a child, spent much of his time in his dad's juke joint surrounded by the likes of Albert King, Sonny Boy Williamson and Robert Nighthawk. About four years after recording this CD his wife shot him in the face. He would survive that trauma only to later have his leg amputated due to complications from diabetes. As the saying goes, you got to live the blues to play the blues.
