Blues CD Reviews 4-16-06 Kissel

[+/-] show/hide

ADDs
1. 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)
