Not unlike a slightly more Americana-leaning Ana Popovic, Fish displayed her six-string abilities on stomping, barroom-style blues numbers. And while there&#8217;s not a thing in the world wrong with that, on <i>Chills &amp; Fever<\/i>, the 28-year-old guitarist has taken a radical detour. With the aid of members of the Detroit Cobra, Fish as made a down-and-dirty rock and roll album that&#8217;s embodies the spirit of classic rhythm and blues. Thrilling musical backing is a feature of every track. Occasionally, the vocal parts push the limits of Fish&#8217;s abilities, and she sounds slightly out of her depth, but her sizzling lead guitar work more than redeems things. Taken as a whole, <i>Chills and Fever<\/i> suggests an intriguing new direction for Fish, one she&#8217;d do well to pursue on further releases.<\/p>\n<p>Watch for my interview with Samantha Fish, coming soon to Musoscribe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File next to: Nick Curran, JD McPherson, Wanda Jackson On her previous albums, guitarist Samantha Fish churned out a solid modern blues.
