LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

The powerful and penetrating vocal talent of Milwaukee native, Deirdre Fellner has definitely raised the bar for rhythm 'n' blues singers around the world. Her unforgettable vocals are backed by an excellent group of versatile musicians, who never disappoint. Noteworthy special guests include bluesman extraordinaire Scott Finch, whose fierce guitar playing comes with its own mark of quality. Fixin' to Wail cooks up new recipes with a raw energy that leaves no room for formula or cliche. From the first bars of the album's opening track, "Cry Have Mercy", it's clear that this Blues Lady has class to spare.
