Review “The Press of Atlantic City” NJ – July 25, 1997

Searing, guitars, wailing vocals and crisp songwriting scream out from veteran blues man Mike Dugan's latest CD, a 10-song collection that places Dugan at the forefront of original acts.

In "All My Blues" Dugan doesn't rein­vent the blues wheel, he just keeps it turning in the right direction. Never too fancy and always keeping focused, the vocalist and guitarist, who has played with the likes of Les Paul and B.B. King, proves he can do it all, from blues with a swing to straight-out rockers.

Dugan seems to do everything well. On the opening cut, “Turn It On and Light It Up," Dugan's raspy voice blends perfectly with the guest guitar work of Bobby Radcliff, creating a perfect opening song.

Dugan also makes good use of his guest musicians. Aside from Radcliff, Fulton Patrick's harmonica on "Can't Get Off the Ground" and "Lyin' In Bed," two Robert Cray-like tunes, are worth the price of the CD alone. The Uptown Horns come through on “Slow" and "Vintage," a ­duet between Dugan and Shirley Lewis. And the Rave-­On-Ettes give a great groove to "Freezer Burn," a lighthearted, standout track.

The only cover on the CD, "Life By The Drop", a tune made popular by Stevie Ray Vaughan, has a refreshing rock feel, and Dugan does Vaughan justice.

Dugan’s “All My Blues” is a straightforward, rocking blues album that shouldn’t be missed. (Scott Cronick)
