After basking in the spotlight, making hearts flutter as Captain Lou Albano's muse, and evolving from a carefree "Girl Who Just Wants To Have Fun" to a powerhouse vocalist demanding respect, where does one go from there? Well, if you've got the talent, the grit, and the drive, you dive headfirst into the sultry, smoldering world of blues, shaking up the night with table-top slow grinds. And hey, it couldn't hurt to have some blues legends like Allen Toussaint, B.B. King, and Jonny Lang backing you up. Plus, tackling some of the most iconic blues tracks ever, and giving them a feminine twist? That's just icing on the cake. And let's not forget, recording this masterpiece on classic analog gear just might be the cherry on top. The first time I heard this album, it felt like a hidden treasure, unearthed from another era. Every song is packed with emotion, brimming with life, and pulsating like a midnight tryst, weaving a dreamy, intoxicating spell that you can feel but never quite grasp. Give "Rollin' and Tumblin'" or the spine-tingling "Down So Low" a spin and see if you can deny their magic. All I can say is, "Cyndi, it's been a long time coming."Review by Jenell Kesler
