The latest issue of Blues Blast Magazine has a strong recommendation for Fiona Boyes’s Blues in my Heart 20th Anniversary Edition recording:
“Fiona Boyes truly stands out from the crowd… With a hard-to-define style that blends everything from Delta and swamp to Chicago blues and more, Fiona exploded onto the world blues scene with the original analog version of this CD, which was self-produced and released on her own label. … The twelfth album in her catalog and a follow-up to Voodoo in the Shadows in 2018, this is far more than a reissue. The original release has been digitally remastered with a feel as if Fiona’s playing in your living room. And it’s accompanied by a richly illustrated 24-page booklet that recounts her first appearance at an open-mic night and provides deep, intimate background on each of the 16 cuts. … Fiona Boyes is a world-class talent, and this release definitely deserved reissue. If you like acoustic guitar work with a heaping helping of personality, too, you’ll love this one. Available from most major retailers, and strongly recommended.”
