Weld
is a master of power driving rhythm. His lead is a head-shaking

“With a slide guitar that cries out like a
rooster crowing at dawn and a drum beat that pulsates like a neon
light flashing on 43rd St., Dave Weld and the Imperial Flames
resurrect the kind of raw, slide electric blues in the genre of Elmore
James, J.B.Hutto, and Hound Dog Taylor.”
