Fankhauser doesn't sound the least bit like a visitor from Switzerland!


In the L.A. and Nashville Studios Fankhauser doesn't sound the least bit like a visitor from Switzerland that unrealistically fancies himself as a blues singer . He displays empathy for Johnny Copeland songs (Shemekia Copeland gives her blessings in the liners), and he dramatizes soul-blues originals without overextending his voice or wearing out his welcome with too strong a reverential tone.

 ***1/2*
