On its self-titled release the Great North Blues Band brings together a lineup of stellar musicians for a recording with a big-band feel of bygone eras. It's entertaining overall, with a sonically interesting palette consisting of upbeat, swinging horns, keys and a host of other musical elements rooted in traditional blues. The band is best when forging ahead at full-throttle on upbeat tracks like the aptly titled "Got the Blues" and "Parchman Farm," but the group might benefit from showing off more range in the future to compliment its diverse pool of talent.
