Now based in Texas, she has recorded her newest album, <em>The Ice Queen, <\/em>with the help of a number of\u00a0Texas legends such as Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Jimmie Vaughan, Charlie Sexton, and the Texas Horns among others.<\/p>\n<p>She has stayed close to her\u00a0musical foundation for her new release, combining rock, blues, roots, and even a little flamenco into a contemporary amalgam of sound.<\/p>\n<p>She wisely mixes up the styles and tempos. She thunders through \u201c81,\u201d \u201cThe Ice Queen,\u201d \u201dFool\u2019s Gold\u201d with Billy Gibbons, and a horn-drenched \u201cIf I Have Forsaken You.\u201d She steps forward with her vocals and guitar on\u00a0a bluesy cover of Besse Smith\u2019s classic \u201cSend Me To The \u2018Lectric Chair.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As good as the full-throttle songs\u00a0are, sometimes simple is best. \u201cDeath Of A Dream,\u201d with only bass and drums in support, is a mellow jazzy journey.<\/p>\n<p>The final two tracks are just Foley, her guitar, and voice. \u201cThe Dance\u201d is an interesting fusion of the blues and an acoustic flamenco style. The final track again finds her solo, taking on a nice rendition of the Carter Family\u2019s \u201cCannonball Blues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>  Sue Foley is a mature musician who has found a home in Texas. <em>The Ice Queen <\/em>is a fine collection of Canadian blues and roots music, Texas style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":59,"featured_media":33411,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[10130],"rating":[5615],"class_list":["post-45228","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-sue-foley","rating-rating-b"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/45228","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/59"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45228"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/45228\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=45228"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=45228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
