"Dues" is the second CD from Clovis Mann. It is a mix of hard charging rock, dirty blues, and a pinch of psychedelia. Madison's Isthmus says of "Dues": "In fact, you get the sense that as long as they've managed to whip up the mood-altering mix of testosterone and endorphins that made Hendrix's work simultaneously earthy and cosmic, they've reached their own personal nirvana...Because it's the blood-quickening essence of the music that matters here, not the notes or the words from which it's constructed. And from the first adamantine blues-rock figure that sets the heavy, masculine vibe of the majestically atavistic road song "Highway's End" to the skiffling acoustic guitar that drives the Allmans-inspired down-home blues of "Whisky Still," Clovis Mann drink deeply of that elixir." Decide for yourself.
