Georgie Fame and the Last Blue Flames

Tone Wheels A'Turnin'

(Three Line Whip)
****
The Last Blue Flames? Is Georgie putting his tonewheel Hammond organ into
storage? Let's hope not, for this album, his first for five years, finds the
Godfather of British R'n'B in fine voice and vintage creative form.

A dozen original songs cover thorny matters such as torture (Guantanamo by the
Sea), the ecology (Survival), New Orleans (Big Easy Meat) and the tyranny of
mobile phones (I'll Sing You).

Styles include Afrobeat (Enksi Dumisani), samba (Second Honeymoon) and groove,
including two themes (Rollin' Blue and Singing Horn) of rare warmth. Trumpeter
Guy Barker, tenorman Alan Skidmore and vibist Anthony Kerr all sparkle but this
is a singer-songwriter's album, and one of Fame's finest.
