We wrote last week when we heard the news:
"I see Mojo gave 'Broadside' a five star rave review and made it their no 1 blues C D of 2009 - deservedly so...
The excellent 'Here today and gone tomorrow' from Larry Garner was no 2 in Mojo's chart and we hope to get a copy of that asap too!
Anyway back to 'Broadside' - having been treated to hearing live tracks from it at Ian's recent gigs our appetites were whetted enough for us to be desperate to get copies of his new work the day it came out on general release Nov 2nd 2009 - so got it, love it and highly recommend it...
Don't have much time to do it justice in a review so will just say buy it and have a listen yourself".
