Donovan Roberts give their acoustic blues more life than most such projects, avoiding by-the-numbers traditionalism while maintaining deep blues feeling. Are You Alone (Shelloy Sounds) crackles with energy even on such oft-recorded songs as �Big Road Blues,� displays inventiveness in a country blues arrangement of Percy Mayfield�s �River�s Invitation,� and enriches the canon with Jeff Roberts� lovely, jazzy �Wonderin� About You.� Roberts�guitar is augmented by occasional piano, harmonica, and mandolin, and Lori Donovan's smooth, sultry vocals are simply perfect. Bold moves like the bossa nova �What You Need From Me� and a reworking of Tom Petty�s �You Got Lucky� pay off neatly without interrupting the mood.
