This quote’s been attributed to Michaelangelo: “Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.” Well, Stavin’ Chain aren’t exactly painting the blues-rock Sistine Chapel yet, but they’ve come a long way in a short time.

It’s always difficult to produce your best work when time and money constraints interfere, as they did with the Rott Gutt Records release of “Wine,” their first CD. That work sounded unvarnished and unsure, as if the band hadn’t quite figured out who they were, Well, they have it now. The eponymous release of their first major-label effort comes with their new billing as “The World’s First Delta Rock Band.” It’s a collection of remixes and remakes with four new songs, yet the cohesion is there: produced by legendary guitarist John Mooney and mixed by The Band’s Rob Fraboni, it plays to their strengths and demolishes their former weaknesses.

The best stuff from “Wine” (“Poison,” “Train,” “Get Back Up,” and “Bloodshot Annie”) has been remixed, and Mooney and his band help remake “I Don’t Know,” “Harley Davidson,” “Monkey Business” and “Bible,” Best of all are the new songs, from the Latin/spoken- word of “Charlie Love and the Country Girl” to the true-life whore’s seduction of “‘ke” and the wonderful closing instrumental, the pure blues “EI Guapo.”

It’s a blues rock fusion that works wonderfully, and helps spotlight the band’s greatest asset: The Tom Waits/Nick Cave beautiful-loser stories of leader Grayson Capps. Like fine wine, Stavin’ Chain are aging well. Seldom has decadence sounded so elegant.
