      <p class="review"><b>Billy Branch</b> gives several nods to some of his musical heroes in his
       first cd on the House of Blues label. <b><u>Satisfy Me</u></b> is not an
       all-blues album, but rather presents the veteran chicago bluesman in a variety
       of musical milieus.</p>
      <p class="review">On <b><i>Pay Or Stay</i></b> he evokes memories of <b>Sonny Boy</b>. <b><i>Son
       of Juke</i></b> is an obvious bow to <b>Little Walter</b>. <b>Branch</b>
       rocks out on <b><i>Boogie Man</i></b> and <b><i>Goin' Down</i></b>, two songs
       long associated with <b>Freddie King</b>. He gets off a wicked solo on <b>Muddy
       Waters'</b> S<b><i>ame Thing</i></b>. He takes <b>Bill Withers</b> old
       song, <b><i>Kissin' My Love</i></b>, and gives it some new clothes.<br>
       <b>Branch's</b> harp work is superb throughout this album and his mix of songs
       makes for pleasant listening. </p>
      <p class="review"><font face="century Gothic">After hearing <b><u>Satisfy Me</u></b>, I'm
       satisfied that <b>Billy Branch</b> is destined to play a major role in 21st
       century blues.</p>
