Boyes made an auspicious debut a few years back in which we tried to choose our words carefully when making the usual comparisons to young Bonnie Raitt. The auspicious debut continues to pay dividends as she showed no sings of sophomore slump and has a run that’s continuing unabated. With some unassailable guests on board egging her on, this Aussie charmer sure as hell has a delta soul and a hell hound or two on her tail. If Raitt never veered pop, this might be what she would sound like today, but Boyes fixed it so we don’t have to guess. High octane throughout, this might not convert you to the blues but you don’t have to like the blues to love this. Smoking hot stuff.
