Track 10: ‘The Devil Has Blue Eyes’ – “The heart has no say; the devil has taken my love away. I can’t understand why he has treated me this way.” Such is the message of this haunting ballad. There’s a minimum of instrumentation, only superbly sultry vocals, creepy guitar, and mournful harp. One should listen to it at midnight with all the lights off at one’s own risk.”
Cathy Lemons is no “Black Crow”, but a ‘black swan’ of the blues. If one’s favorite type is mellow and full of soul, then this album fits the ‘bill‘!”
