The Three Sides of Mel
Mel Catholic
(2007)
If you’re W.C. Handy’s grandson you’re pretty much assured to have a feel for the blues in your soul. In his new CD, The Three Sides of Mel, Mel Catholic manages to bring out the blues in all its glory, from jazzy blues, to organ and brass blues, and make you stand up and shout or sit down and tap your feet blues. Catholic, though Hardy’s grandson, has earned his place in the world of the blues by playing for Brian McKnight and even B.B. King. For a fun, authentic romp through the blues, give this CD a spin.
