Metronome Magazine Review of
Do Me Right
By Douglas Sloan

Hoodoo Revelator serves up a swinging blues stew on their debut CD, Do Me Right. Lead singer/guitarist Jay Scheffler fronts the band with gritty vocals and rhythm guitar while lead guitarist Jim Chilson, bassist Jeff Fabrizio, drummer Dave Darling, and harmonica man Mike Chipperini keep the pot simmering cut to cut. Chilson, Scheffler, and Chipperini all contribute to the songwriting that's rounded out with covers by Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker, War, Sonny Boy Williamson, and Hoodoo Jack Carter**.

The overall sentiment throughout Do Me Right is uptempo blues/rock punctuated by Chipperini's fine harp playing and the rock steady beats of drummer Dave Darling. Best tracks include the boogie of "Do The Do," the bluesy lament of "Do Me Right," and Chipperini's blazing harp attack on "Chipper's Boogie."
