While blues is the springboard, Big Sugar may simply be too eclectic for its own commercial good. The improvisational twists of Monk's "Bensha Swing" and mellow jazz vibe of Hoagy Carmichael's "Stardust" won't sit comfortably in everyone's books with the R&B shuffle of "Sleep In Late" or "Motherless Children"'s wicked slide guitar.
