Daryl Hance Wild Blue Iris (CD)

(2016/Devil Down) 13 tracks
With Wild Blue Iris, Daryl Hance returns with another dusty slab of Southern-flavored psychedelic swampy groove music with enough hearty sides to satisfy most anyone with an appetite for searing bluesy guitars, fuzzy super-fat vintage tones, heaps of bottom-end, and transcendental songs high on life, hope, fun, love, and living. Dig on in! Wild Blue Iris, the third full-length album from the Jacksonville, Florida singer/guitarist, is a burner of heaping proportions with a vibe harkening back to the pre-1975 or so days of blues and funk inspired rock and roll played with a heart-on-your-sleeve spirit no-nonsense attitude of good times and great songs.
