Estimated Rating:

Have I heard of this artist? No
Average RYM Score: 3.50
You can't beat a bit of blues, and for me, slow smouldering blues is the best. “Open Eyes” is such a track, sizzling with emotion and power. If I didn't already know it wasn't the case, I would think Wonderland was black, as she has that real voice you associate with black blues singers. Very soulful, very powerful, a real attention grabber. There's great sleazy rock in “Can't Nobody Hide From God” and she brings her own style of gospel to “She Wants To Know”, with some fine bouncy piano too. “To Be Free” is very jazzy with scat singing and that deep-throated growl some of the jazz singers used, and she ends with a brooding version of Thorogood's classic “Bad to the Bone”. Good album.
