<"b0000009zf7580"> Amazon.com essential recording
Another fine recording from the genre-bending multi-instrumentalist, Standing My Ground finds Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown turning a hand at guitar, vocals, and fiddle as usual, as well as piano on the jumping "Never Unpack Your Suitcase" and some great drum breaks on "She Walks Right In." There's a stellar swing-jazz piece, appropriately titled "Cool Jazz," and a blues-zydeco mix on, yep, "Louisiana Zydeco." The high point, though, is Gate's take on "What Am I Living For," as tender a blues ballad as has ever been recorded. In addition, Gate breathes new life into "Got My Mojo Working," which has got to be one of the most frequently covered blues songs on record. --Genevieve Williams

Brown continues his sui generis way with blues and other American musics. Relying on a top-flight horn section for chatoyance, he blends his fervency and lyricism into some of the most fetching songs he's recorded in his Rounder years, from "Got My Mojo Working" to "Never Unpack Your Suitcase." And for someone who hates easy categorization, the eccentric Texan has given a few of his songs revealing titles: "Cool Jazz" and "Louisiana Zydeco. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993
