The 22 tracks of "From There To Here" (own lable) by Sandy Atkinson mix old and new songs from this seriously under-rated mainstay of the Florida blues scene. She ranges from solo folk and blues items through raggy East Coast blues (the late great harmonica player Rock Bottom crops up on one track here) and on to full blown retro rock and roll, via all kins of blues, fronting at tough little down-home combo on several tracsk and even introducing a honky tonk flavour on a couple of others.

The tracks are unfailingly interesting and Sandy's voice can adapt to the demands of each song equally well from an intimate whisper to a sassy squall. It says alot about the state of the blues recording industry that some enterprising label has not picked up on her yet. If there is any justice, this release should change that situation.
