Wall is an excellent guitar player who works within the confines of each song. He’ll show some flash when necessary, but for the most part, he’s just playing soulful solos that sound good. He’s not trying to impress the listener.

Any fan of real deal, no b.s., nitty gritty blues, is going to be a fan of ‘Mark Wenner’s Blues Warriors.’ If you don’t already have a copy in your collection, get two. Just like in the old days, you might just wear the first one out.

‘Dyna-Mite’ is jazzy, bluesy, funky, fun, and out-freaking-standing. We highly recommend you get this one – yesterday. Cleary, himself, says it best, “Turn it up loud and press play to detonate…”

Soars’ voice and guitar are the glue that holds the album together. Both are the common thread through the various songs, and both inject all of the tracks with a warmth and humanity.

Say what you will about what slacker millennials bring to this world, but if they keep producing hard-working, ass-kicking, no-shit-taking, honest-at-all-costs rockers like Courtney Barnett, the music world will be a much better place.
