by Bill DahlDown Home is one of the very few classic blues albums of the 1980s. Hill revitalized the genre among African-American listeners with his"Down Home Blues," which earned instant standard status. But the entire album is tremendously consistent, with the percolating R&B workouts"Givin' It Up for Your Love" and"Right Arm for Your Love" contrasting with an intimate"Cheatin' in the Next Room" and the straight-ahead blues"Everybody Knows About My Good Thing" and"When It Rains It Pours."
