'Sadie Mae' makes it apparent that Nick Moss has reached new heights and become a serious musical force to be reckoned with. Moss' formidable command of the timeless 1950s Chicago sounds--and all its musical twists and turns since then--captivate the listener via his top shelf guitar work, vocals showing a new level of effectiveness and expressiveness, and a program heavy on savvy and personal songwriting about topics ranging from his own family to one of Chicago's most notorious ghetto scenesters.
