Andra Faye & Scott Ballantine Coulda Woulda Shoulda

(2015/Vizztone) 13 tracks. 'Andra Faye was a member of Saffire - The Uppity Blues Women from 1992 until their retirement in 2009, and has earned a sterling reputation for her multi-stringed versatility, especially for blues mandolin. She was dubbed "First Lady of the Blues Mandolin" by Mandolin Magazine in 2013. Her world-class vocals are power packed, with a playful sensuality that perfectly matches the humor and heartache of her material. Scott Ballantine's facility on guitar encompasses jazz, blues, rock & country. His guitar chops are finely honed by many years of playing and his phrasing is exquisite, almost vocallike in quality. His plucks, slides, bends and vibrato are fluid; Scott doesn't drive a song as much as he floats it all downstream. Coulda Woulda Shoulda the duo's second album together, serves up a baker's dozen of tasty tracks, including eight originals that flow effortlessly on a river of sultry ache and bawdy humor. Enjoy'...
