Charmed & dangerous

"Jeff Taylor's style is big and no-holds-barred in his approach; he never takes any prisoners as he attacks each song with his powerful vocal work. Schroedl takes the same approach on guitar, blazing a path on each cut with his fretwork. The keyboards are used effectively to balance out the songs and the harp work begs for maybe even more - it was a nice addition.Charmed and Dangerous is not for the faint of heart - most of the cuts here are big and hot. This is a powerful album".

"With little national fanfare comes the fourth album from Milwaukee based Altered Five Blues Band. Charmed & Dangerous hit the streets on August 11th, via Blind Pig Records, and will be making huge waves. We're not fortune tellers, but we do have ears, and the ears don't lie ... With no possible way of picking a favorite from this baker's dozen of originals, we'll suffice it to say that Charmed & Dangerous is on our list of the best blues release of the year".

"On My List to Quit (...) demonstrates the band's precision and cohesion as a unit, not to mention the knack for writing and arranging fresh material that sounds so fresh ... Cookin' in My Kitchen shows the band's ability to get down and dirty and play greasy low-down blues ... All in all, these 13 tracks represent an album that goes well beyond the average expectations. The Altered Five Blues Band clearly aims to raise the bar, and they're succeeding".
