ONE MORE MILE is among the best of Clarence Brown's '80s comeback albums. A big jazz band backs the talented Texan bluesman/multi-instrumentalist here, and Brown plays with the verve and drive of a young buck. Guitar junkies will thrill to "Flipping Out," a wildly swinging blues shuffle that finds Brown riffing at supersonic speed. Fans of Brown's equally adroit violin playing should check out the stop-time sections of "Song for Renee"-he seems to defy gravity. Best of all is Brown's version of "I Wonder," a blues classic by rock precursor Cecil Gant. Brown sings with such intensity that you'd swear the story-a cheater's tale about a World War II soldier having doubts about his sweetheart back home-were his own.
