About Read My Lips
Austin's Lou Ann Barton displays her sassy blowtorch blues style splendidly on her third recording, on which she receives assistance from friends and former bandmates such as Kim Wilson, David "Fathead" Newman, and current duet partner Jimmie Vaughan (Do You Get the Blues). But Barton, a past member of both Roomful of Blues and an early edition of Stevie Ray Vaughan's band, doesn't really need much help; her amazingly rich, blues-drenched voice is a musical force of nature. Whether using it on a sizzling remake of Slim Harpo's "Shake Your Hips," digging deep into Irma Thomas's Crescent City classic ballad "It's Raining," or energizing "High Time We Went," Barton saturates her sound with raw emotion and unerring blues sensibilities. Even semi-novelty numbers like Lazy Lester's bayou funk standard "Sugar Coated Love" and the tough-woman anthem "You Can Have My Husband" somehow seem more substantial. She further accentuates her no-nonsense image with superlative takes on Barbara Lynn's "You'll Lose a Good Thing" and renegade country legend Wanda Jackson's "Mean, Mean Man." --Michael Point
