Blues CD Reviews 4-16-06 Kissel
ADDs1. Duke Robillard "Groove a Rama" (Stony Plain)
The Duke showcases all his guitar influences with his usual elan & feel.
2. Guy Davis "Skunkmello" (Red House)
Guy gives another fine acoustic work, w/traditional country to more urban flavors.
Blues Pond
3. Daddy Mack "Slow ride" (Inside Sounds)
Memphis-based Gtrist & singer Mack reprises US & UK rock hits. It works on the 1st half but
loses steam with the 2nd half of tracks.
4. Bob Bronzman "Blues reflex" (Ruf)
Aussie blues & folk acoustic gtrist, the instrumentals are the strongest cuts.
5. Bill Rhoades "Hoodoo lovin' " (White Owl)
Pac NW blues stalwart sings & blows harp. The music is the best, the songs seem a bit weak.
Blues Library
6. Nelsen Adelard "Unplugged" *Blue Track)
Blues rocker goes acoustic and generally misses the boat.
7. Burnside Exploration "The Record" (Lucky 13)
Sons of RL Burnside rock & fuzz it out, missing the feel & groove that RL hypnotized so
many with.
Discard?
8. Root Doctor "Been a long time coming"
(not long enough)
9. Dennis Jones "Passion for the blues"
(no wonder he's not with someone)
