Nick Moss has been well known for playing a traditionally-steeped Chicago blues for years, but his latest album, “Privileged”, is blues with a distinctive rock flair. This album has been one of the most talked about and well received in the blues scene this year, and in good reason; it’s simply great.

Nick’s songwriting skills shine through the tracks. His self-penned songs often share stories that ambiguously mirror our tumultuous times, and it’s effect on the human condition. It’s a contemporary lyrical throwback to what so much of the blues has always been about: challenges facing people, and overcoming them through music. For good measure, Nick adds in a scorching cover of Cream’s old twelve bar “Politician”. Of course, just like there’s more to Nick than traditional Chicago, the album still packs a deeper blues punch. “Georgia Redsnake” is a mesmerizing, stompin’ slide blues number that practically forces the listener to stomp their foot to the beat! “Louise” is a wonderful delta-soaked throwback to Howlin’ Wolf, and there’s even a jazzy, blues-rock instrumental in “Bolognious Funk” that brings it down funky you can smell it!
Ultimately, Privileged will please a broad blues palette, and truly demonstrates the skill and diversity of Nick Moss as an artist. This could be one of the best contemporary blues albums out this year.
