As she did on her cover-laden 2017 “live” effort, vocalist Casey Hensley blows the doors off of the set list at hand, this time comprised exclusively of her own nicely crafted material.  While always leaving room for her phenomenal power, Ms. Hensley the songwriter displays a solid knack with different styles, keeping things fresh throughout the set.  Sweet dilemmas await programmers choosing from the available fare including the title track- a seriously smokin’ boogie, the vintage r&b styling of “Don’t Want It To Stop” or steamy slow blues- “You Should Be So Lucky”.  Swinging moments- “Be My Baby (What Do You Say?)”, “All In”- also set up nice play from lead guitarist and co-producer Laura Chavez.
