There is a statement on this CD jacket that states
"Industrial Strength Blues," they should have added "and
Boogie." This release represents some of the most authenic boogie piano
I have heard in a long time and I thank Wendy DeWitt for that. There is
not a lot of boogie players recorded today that I get to hear. Ms. DeWitt
included many of her own compositions in this offering proving that she
has the musician chops, her mastery of the old standards like "3 0'Clock
Jump," "Texas Stomp," "Mess Around," and "Don't
Want No Woman" shows her appreciation of the history of this music.
