To be clear, there are no Lee Greenwood covers present here. The title track on Aki Kumar’s current offering skews in a decidedly different direction. That said, the Mumbai-bred, Bay Area vocalist and harmonica player does serve up some good-timey blues and interesting variations. While playing it straight, blues-wise, on his reading of The Clash’s “Should I Stay” and his own “Jarvos Woman”, compelling percussive cross-pollination makes for a unique take on Willie Dixon’s “I Just Want To Make Love”. The Meters’ “Desi Strut” gets a tasty treatment as well.
