Description of New Used Car
Powerhouse singer/songwriter/guitarist SUE FOLEY has solidified her place as one of the leading lights of the contemporary blues scene. Her first new studio work in four years, NEW USED CAR is the most accomplished and accessible album of her career, featuring Sue's smooth purr-to-growl vocal style wrapped around original songs, punctuated by her high velocity, shiver-inducing lead guitar work. Foley co-produced the release with Corey Macfadyen and wrote or co-wrote 11 of the 12 tunes on the disc.NEW USED CAR reflect the wide range of influences in Sue Foley's musical palette. From the super-charged "New Used Car" to the soulful "Sugar" to the Stonesy "When I Come Back To Ya," Foley's at the top of her game. She goes acoustic in the beautiful "Long Tomorrow" and shifts into low gear during the slow blues of "Absolution" and "Mother."
A classic modern blues masterpiece from "Canada's Queen of The Blues Guitar."
Like the titular automobile, guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Sue Foley is dependable, road-tested, and economical. Through sheer tenacity, the Canadian has become an experienced and respected veteran in the limited but fertile genre of female blues-guitar-slinging bandleaders. On her tenth album, Foley finds a cruising lane between her tougher early work and a slicker, more R&B-influenced sound. She sticks to her blues background while shifting gears to a moderately more commercially oriented soulful approach that should appeal to old fans and create some new ones. With an instantly recognizable voice that can be sweet one moment and biting the next, Foley shows that being fashionable and rootsy aren't mutually exclusive. She's as comfortable with a Stonesy "Beast of Burden"-styled ballad such as "Do It Again" as digging her wheels into the album's high-drama, torchy showpiece "Absolution." While not all of the material--eleven of these tracks are written or co-penned by Foley--is up to those standards, her malleable voice, tough yet tender spirit, and subtle but sure guitar find the guts in even the less stellar tunes. The evocative front cover shows a glamorous Foley staring down the listener with an expression of steely resolve. It's a similar mixture of grace and danger that fuels this album, where she hugs the curves of the blues while careening around the corners of rock and soul. --Hal Horowitz
