From the opening choruses of the leadoff track, “Missing Persons Blues- Op.- 26”, as the lines of blues harp, strings, tabla and sax entwine around each other, each gliding forward with snake-like grace, one is taken in by the fascinating and thoroughly organic musical fusion Chicago blues vet Corky Siegel and company have realized.  Long a practitioner of this particular strain of genre-splicing, Mr. Siegel provides this mix with compositions and adaptations suitably compelling and quirky.  And rest assured, this blues bar-bred bandleader has blocked out plenty of time for his own solid blow choruses. While the cover of “Lay Down Sally”, fronted by Eric Clapton collaborator Marcy Levy, is a safe bet for airplay, tracks including “Shadows In The Shoe Box”,  “Angel Food Cake” and the very haunting “One” are attention-worthy as well.
