Well Travelled is a good title for this CD, as the Red Hot Blues sound like nothing so much as a road band, the sort one might see in a club during the week, announcing during the set that they're from somewhere else (in this case, Van Nuys, California). While the material is fairly standard electric blues--the requisite uptempo shuffle of opening track "Walkin' Shoes," a few ballads ("One Bottle," "It's Time You Understand"), and a tense-but-low-key number ("Haunted by My Past")--it's all performed with enthusiasm. Especially worth hearing is Junior Lee Klegseth's guitar work, which is quite expressive and often unexpectedly subtle. --Genevieve Williams

"The RedHot Blues are exactly that....rollicking, good-time, rocking blues that has made this band a Southern California favorite. All the playing on this collection is inspired. Performing a blend of blues and rock similar to bands like the Allman Brothers or Johnny and Edgar Winter, they play with an intensity rarely seen."

On their second release, Well Travelled, The RedHot Blues demonstrate tremendous growth as blues artists. The reason? Five years together for the band's charter members, Shafran and Klegseth, hundreds of gigs in Southern California and throughout the West and Southwest, a debut CD bringing national airplay, and a love for the music they play. The band's road experiences translate to smokin' blues, from the slow 12/8, It's Time You Understand, to the straight ahead rockin' blues of Walkin' Shoes and If Your Lovin' Gets Delivered, to the sophisticated changes of Haunted By My Past, and to the live favorite, One Bottle.
