Contemporary blues guitarist Michael Burks returns with his fourth album, the powerful IRON MAN. Co-produced by Burks and Alligator Records owner Bruce Iglauer and written largely by Burks, these 12 songs are textbook modern electric blues featuring Burks's passionate gutbucket vocals and his trademark stinging lead guitar. Highlights include the powerful seven-minute epic "Icepick Through My Heart" and the soulful rocker "Strange Feeling."
