Coffee Works
Voorhees, N.J.
With a big weekend rain storm beginning, the Rock Folk & Blues Revue made another installment at Camden County's largest coffeeshop. And it's a good thing the place is so spacious, because the rain seemed to bring in a heavy stream of customers looking for a dry place to enjoy dessert and entertainment.
It looks like a couple of patterns are developing in the RFB format, like the opening three songs of the night, the harmonica addition to "Fast Asleep" and "Two Lights at a Time" in the Folk set, and the show's closing pair of B.B. King's "The Thrill Is Gone" and Dom's own "Eight Bars of Blues."
You'll note a "trade" of sorts in the Folk set that worked really well: "Not Supposed to Like," played in the Rock hour in the past, got its best audience response ever when used as a follow-up to Woody Guthrie's surprising protest song, "This Land Is Your Land" (yes, a protest song, but you have to hear all six verses to know that). Perhaps "NSL" will stay in the Folk category for future shows.
