Mike Katon And The Wild A'S - Boogie All Over Your Head (1984)

                                                                       Mike Katon
 Blues-rocker Katon's first album, from 1984, is still the one to beat. Recorded in his home on a four-track reel-to-reel deck, Katon and his then-current band, the Wild A's, blasted through a set of half a dozen originals and another six bandstand staples. Katon's Stratocaster is positively ripping on tracks like the opening "Miss Pearl" and his own "My Baby's Gone Crazy" and the title track. His slide work on "Honky Funk," another original, is every bit as fine as his single-string work, and shows a fine grasp of Delta blues playing brought to high volume blues-rock standards. His covers of shopworn standards like Willie Dixon's "I Just Want to Make Love to You," Don and Dewey's "Justine" and Chuck Berry's "Jo Jo Gunne" are pleasant enough, but his takes on Johnny Burnette's "Lonesome Train" and Mack Vickery's "Meat Man" are two more highlights to this purely rocking debut from this exciting performer.
