The Story
"Working Overtime" delivers more of the same righteous truth as Hole's debut album, "Short Fuse Blues". Jas Obrecht remarks in the liner notes, "He's never done hard-time in the hard scrabble American South or learned first-hand from a Delta bluesman, yet Dave Hole captures an utterly blues-approved sound. He specializes in original songs that mine deep urban veins, but has no trouble heating up difficult covers. His concert high points include a shredding "Purple Haze" on slide and -- far more difficult -- a harrowing "Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground" that's precise without losing the raw.) " "Working Overtime" features Hole's trademark overhand slide guitar technique, as he sprays a steely fire all over the strings.
