Songwriter Dale Brown broadens his horizons with more of his soulful harmonica (harp surgery), funky electric bass and jazzy guitar licks. In Mecca of Blues you will find some lyrics that grab your gut and some that will touch you on the funny bone. "In the Garden" you are likely to hear a snake in the grass. This collection is a mystical twist from his first few recordings. When asked about the Zarahemla connection he said, "If I told ya I'd have to kill ya," then gives a sinister smile. That's why they call it entertainment. If you can figure out the puzzle let him know. Some of the instrumentals on this collection will give you time to meditate on the lyrics of the previous tune. Variety is the spice of life. He proves that by playing a variety of instruments not only when recording but while doing live shows as well.
