Hector Anchondo throws a variety of blues moves at you with his debut EP Kickin Up Dust. There are the self-indulgent guitar solos of “The World Still Turns” complete with its slow blues burn and in contrast the Chili Pepper funk of “Island.” There is of course a little respectful tip of the fedora to George Thorogood on “Momma’s A Hard Man” but the most impressive tune here is easily “Where’d You Go?” This first track of the EP slams with old style blues containing a cheating woman and is accompanied by an impressive David Lee Roth howl that will make you anxious to hear Anchondo’s next release.

Key Track: “Where’d You Go?”
