Originally issued in Germany in ’90, Blues All night presents Ulmer as a blues and funk singer and guitarist and is every bit as underwhelming as the all-instrumental “In the Name of…” is overwhelming. Ulmer may be one of the most innovative guitarists of his generation, but he’s a mediocre vocalist and an inept lyricist. When he’s not serving up transparent rip-offs of Sly Stone (“Calling Marry”) and Otis Redding (“Changing Times”), he’s offering tuneless vamps such as “Baby Snatcher” or tedious sermons such as “Peace and Happiness.”
