Kelowna, British Columbia's Rick Halisheff - a.k.a. Poppa Dawg - turns in a solid set of traditional Blues penned by the excellent guitarist and singer.

'Nobody Here Feels Sorry For You' bounces between Hokum and
Jump; 'Croc Talkin', a greasy, minor-key funk instrumental features
some of the snarkiest wah tone ever waxed; and 'This Man' is a towering deep soul number. 'I Ain't Leavin' shuffles with Stevie
Ray Vaughan power, '1, 2, Gone' swings like Ronnie Earl's
best work and 'Cool Little Number' is reminiscent of Little
Charlie and Rick Estrin's hipper stuff.

Great singing, tones, playing, songs and a refreshing
variety of approaches make Dawg's self-release
'Same Dog, New Suit a winner.
