DEB SEITZ
Soul Stirring (self-released)
Reviewed by Eric Steiner

---

Deb Seitz' new CD is finished and that's very good news for blues fans. She's a Chicago-area blues diva with pipes that just won't quit. I've shouted about her work with the Chicago Blues Posse on these screens before, and Soul Stirring gives Deb a chance to strut her stuff as a solo artist with a band of local first-class bluesmen (and women) in the studio. Producer Patrick Doody sits in on drums, with Motor City Josh Ford, Frank Arnastos and Joey Drada sharing guitar parts while John Falstrom plays bass and Lisa Welli and John Katke play keyboards. Deb's very soulful stirrings on this CD include Koko Taylor's "Voodoo Woman" and Tom Hambridge's "Rock Me Right." For a good introduction to Deb Seitz' work, check out the many song samples online at her website, including a short video of Deb and Motor City Josh Ford playing at Chicagoland nightspot, Leroy's Hot Stuff, at www.debseitz.com. Deb's solo CD is a welcome addition to my CD collection, and just like she sings on this disc, she knows "how to rock me right."

Track List:

Blues is My Business * Goin' Somewhere * Voodoo Woman * Hurts So Bad * Sugar Coated Love * Turtle Blues * Hound Dog * Rock Me Right * Bobby McGee
