Our Take

BIG DAVE MCLEAN's latest album, "Better The Devil You Know," is a rollicking ride through the blues with a touch of cheeky charm. The album kicks off with the title track, a toe-tapping number that sets the tone for what's to come. McLean's gravelly voice cuts through the mix like a hot knife through butter, delivering lyrics that are both soulful and saucy.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Whiskey In My Coffee," a boozy ballad that is sure to get listeners swaying in their seats. McLean's guitar playing is on full display here, with blistering solos that will leave you reaching for a stiff drink. The songwriting on this track is top-notch, with witty wordplay and clever turns of phrase that keep things interesting from start to finish.

Another highlight is "Gimme Some Sugar," a funky track that oozes with swagger and swagger. The groovy bassline and infectious horns create a sound that is both classic and contemporary, proving that McLean can keep up with the best of them. This is a song that demands to be played loud, with its catchy chorus and irresistible hook.

Overall, "Better The Devil You Know" is a solid offering from BIG DAVE MCLEAN. It's a fun, quirky album that showcases McLean's talents as a musician and songwriter. So grab a drink, kick back, and let the blues wash over you - you won't regret it.
