Jeff Golub was happily playing lead guitar with Rod Stewart and doing sessions in New York when the solo bug bit him in 1994. The result was Avenue Blue, a solo guitar debut that did very well with commercial smooth jazz stations. His follow-up is called Naked City, and the grooves are as economic as the previous record, but this time Golub steps up the funk a little more. The mid-tempo title song will draw early airplay attention, but spirited tunes like "Nitpickin'" and "Funky Is As Funky Does" will draw clean comparisons to Booker T. & the MGs in the feelin' good department. Rick Braun returns to co-produce and sit in, while Golub explores his soul and jazz-rock influences. Pianist Bob James jams on the breezy "Conversation," and Phoebe Snow sings on the standard, "Baby I'm Yours". ---Keith Zimmerman, jeffgolub.com
