Light It Up

In Light It Up, their third release, the powerhouse roots-rock vocalist from Texas and British-American guitar alchemist deliver riveting blues-rock melodies with lyrics that are pure cinema. A treasure trove of originals, there are but two covers: Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams” reimagined as a blues shuffle with Deb’s seductive growl, and the Willie Dixon-penned “Spoonful” – a nod to Howlin’ Wold, an idol to Deb and Colin. Chris Butler, the mastermind behind the popular 19980’s band The Waitresses, co-produced and co-wrote many songs on the recording with Deb and Colin, and played both drums and bass on various cuts. Terry Abrahamson provided another key collaboration with “Lessons In The Ground.” Guests include: Steve Marriner, harmonica on "Sponful”, Jason Edwards, drums on “Sweet Dreams”, “House On Fire” and “Out For A Rip”: Jennifer Milligan, backing vocals on “Sweet Dreams”: and Alastair Greene and Pascal Fouquet, guitar solos on “Out For A Rip,” “Light It Up” should, in the track’s words, “start a new kind of fire.” - John Burnett – Hawaii Tribune-Herald.
