The Blind Pig Records debut from Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin, a long-time guitarist for Muddy Waters and presently working with Big Bill Morganfield (Waters's son, for anyone who doesn't know), is a delight. That's to be expected, in a way; anyone who works with the best and brightest Chicago has to offer is bound to be good. But the lack of surprise doesn't lessen the sheer pleasure of this album, which is chock-full of the best Chicago sound. Margolin's got a strong, tight guitar style that favors substance over flash and a rich voice that just about holds its own in his duet with Morganfield on "Wee Baby Blues." With concert favorites like the title track and "Slam 'Em Down," the instrumental "Consolation," which bridges the gap between Chicago and Eric Clapton, and the slow pounding of "Mean Old Chicago," Hold Me to It is an excellent example of the Chicago blues in general and of the strengths of Bob Margolin in particular. -- Genevieve Williams
