The fourth Nick Travers music mystery provides the audience with multiple intriguing looks at the darker side of the industry. As usual Ace Atkins displays his music acumen that is harmoniously blended into the story line. However, the plot lacks substance especially once ALIAS blows Travers off, leaving the audience wondering why and what the professor is investigating. Though not quite the usual Ace, DIRTY SOUTH sings enough of the blues to entreat amateur sleuth and music mystery lovers to listen to the melody.
