The Jeff Jensen Band’s CD I’m Coming Home is some of the most enjoyable and fun blues I’ve heard in awhile. This is a five peace band with trumpet, trombone, and sax added to give it a larger sound with a bit of a swing to it. The CD kicks off with the B.B. King song “Ask Me No Questions” which Jeff said the band has been doing this for years. They do it a little faster than BB and add horns, makes it work really good as the opener. “Good Morning Judge” is a Wynonie Harris hit that Jeff and the band really do a good job of. This is one of the songs you will play over and over because it really swings. About half of the songs were written or co-written by Jeff. Two of the more out standing ones are “Skinny Girls” and “She’s Evil”. Both have somewhat funny lyrics with the latter having strong vocals not to mention good guitar work. The real stand out (this has been going through my head a lot) is “Living In Los Angeles” with good hooks with fun lyrics. You will really like this song, well really the whole cd I’m Coming Home.
