Chris O'Leary The Hard Line (Translucent Red)

Alligator debut from one of the blues’ most talented unsung heroes, a deeply soulful vocalist, powerhouse harmonica player and gifted songwriter. The Hard Line shines with 12 striking original songs that draw from O’Leary’s rich personal history. Engaging, sharp-edged observations on life and love are shot through with every-man wisdom and humor, and set to rollicking roadhouse R&B, hard Chicago blues and wrenching ballads. O’Leary’s rough, riveting vocals and world-class harmonica playing set the pace throughout. 1. No Rest 2. Lost My Mind 3. Ain't That A Crime 4. My Fault 5. I Cry At Night 6.
