Something I've done

"Blizzards. Deluges. Ice storms. Mudslides. When the weather is this categorically unappealing, what better antidote than some zesty New Orleans-style blues rock? Downchild, one of Canada's longest-running and most celebrated blues bands, provides plenty of it on Something I've Done, their latest in a long line of stunning releases ... This sextet has it all: high energy, smooth chemistry, lively presence, and superb musicianship. On nine original tracks and one cover catchier than the flu, they blaze forth like Tesla coils".

"This is Downchild's 18th studio album. The current band lineup has been together since 1990: Donnie "Mr. Downchild" Walsh, a Canadian Blues Museum Hall of Fame inductee, guitar and harmonica; two-time Maple Blues Award winner and frontman Chuck Jackson, lead vocals and harmonica; six time MBA "Horn Player of The Year" Pat Carey, tenor and baritone saxes; Gary Kendall a seven time award winner, bass; Michael Fonfara a four time winner, keyboards; and Mike Fitzpatrick a two time winner, drums. They are an all-star band ... In recent years Canadian Blues artists have received recognition at our Blues Music Awards but Downchild, who has never received a nomination, is still keeping the blues alive".
