Canadian boogie-woogie legend Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne, now in his 80th year, joins the growing list of octogenarians making some of the best music of their storied careers. With no time to waste, the Boogie Woogie Hall of Famer kicks off the title track with a hard driving workout on the 88s and adds a frisky vocal to boot while drummer Joey DiMarco keeps the frantic rhythm pulsating underneath. On a topical note, check out the gritty challenge of “Whatcha Gonna Do Now,” with Jimmy Bowskill’s banjo adding a rural flavor to the forthright march tempo as Wayne’s matter-of-fact vocal inveighs against environmental and social contract failures aplenty, much as he does on a funky, percolating offering, “My Point of View,” in lamenting those whose implacable views brook no chance “To see a better place/For this human race.” Even in the funky, horn- and banjo-fueled heat of the furious dance hall ambience adorning “Try It Out,” the Blues Boss takes flight on the keys while delivering a Staples-style sermon counseling common sense (“Read between the lines/To know the full story”) as the antidote to hate speech. Cooking mightily throughout, Ooh Yeah! lives up to its title, and then some.
