After winning numerous blues awards and recording three folk-roots albums, Suzie Vinnick has finally released a solo blues disc under her own name. Listening to Me 'n' Mabel, Suzie Vinnick's first solo blues album, is like having one of Canada's favourite blues singers perform an intimate concert in your living room. This stripped-down acoustic 14-song collection features Suzie's high-octane versatile voice and strong, percussive guitar playing, yet manages to travel many roads the blues can take you.

Canadian blues artist Suzie Vinnick calls her guitar Mabel. Exactly why she chose that name I'm not sure. What I am sure of, however, is that the record Vinnick just recorded with that guitar is an acoustic blues gem. Entitled simply Me 'n' Mabel, this is the first solo blues CD Vinnick has released under own name. Her three previous solo releases, all of which met with great success and one of which was nominated for a Juno Award, were essentially folk/roots records, not blues records. A stripped-down acoustic set, Me 'n' Mabel is comprised of some 14 songs of which five are either Vinnick originals or co-writes. Included in that cluster are two of the album's best tracks: Save Me For Later, co-written with Kristi Magraw, and Get Some, co-written with Rita Chiarelli. The balance of the album is taken up with longtime favourites of Vinnick's, like Willie Dixon's You'll Be Mine, Percy Mayfield's Send Me Someone to Love, Hoyt Axton's Never Been to Spain and what is perhaps the only blues song ever written about a cookie, Lonnie Mack's delicious Oreo Cookie Blues. Vinnick, who has won six Maple Blues Awards for her work with blues artists like Rick Fines, truly shines on this record. Fans have always known she had a great voice, a voice with both power and range, but she has never given that voice the kind of workout it gets here. Likewise, her guitar work has never been showcased to this degree. Vinnick really is a great player. She has a very percussive style, which I like. She also has a talent for finding these sweet little notes that send me to my happy place. © Doug Gallant (review column for "The Guardian")
