On leave from Norah Jones' group, guitarist Kevin Breit gets to unleash jam-band solos and lots of throbbing reverb on this collection of eccentric blues vamps. Alas, lyrical moments like ''Faithful'' are offset by the mannered, Tom Waits-manque singing of John Dickie, who makes one yearn for Jones' placidity.
