Like {|Muddy Waters|}, {|Howlin' Wolf|}, and {|John Lee Hooker|}, {|Eddie Guitar Burns|} is a perfect example of a bluesman who was born and raised in Mississippi but made his mark after he moved north and went electric. The main difference between {|Burns|} and those other bluesmen -- all of whom he outlived -- is the fact that he isn't a great singer. While {|Waters|}, {|Wolf|}, and {|Hooker|} were all both great singers and great musicians, {|Burns|} is a fine musician but a limited singer. Of course, having a limited vocal range hasn't prevented {|Madonna|} from providing meaningful {|dance-pop|} -- and similarly, {|Burns|} doesn't let his vocal limitations hold him back on {|Snake Eyes|}. A 73-year-old {|Burns|} recorded this CD for {|Delmark|} on September 12 and 13, 2001 -- right after the 9/11 terrorist attacks -- and the veteran bluesman is in good form throughout the album. {|Burns|}' vocals are on the thin side, but he still gets his points across on original songs, as well as on performances of {|Memphis Slim|}'s {|Lend Me Your Love,|} {|Paul Gayten|}'s {|For You My Love,|} and {|Charles E. Calhoun|}'s {|Your Cash Ain't Nothin' But Trash|} (which has been recorded by everyone from {|the Clovers|} to {|Steve Miller|}). And his musicianship (on harmonica as well as guitar) is certainly nothing to complain about. {|Burns|}, whose brother {|Jimmy Burns|} is also employed on guitar, offers an appealing Detroit/Chicago blend -- {|Snake Eyes|} is primarily an album of Detroit-style {|electric blues|}, but the disc isn't without Windy City influences. In fact, the brothers produced {|Snake Eyes|} with {|Delmark|} founder/president {|Bob Koester|}, who is a major expert when it comes to {|Chicago blues|}. Although not a five-star masterpiece, {|Snake Eyes|} is an enjoyable outing from a {|blues|} survivor who has spent many years in the trenches. ~ Alex Henderson Music>Music>Blues>Blues>Blues, City Hall Core >3<
