Cathi's Reviews -10/1/07
Cale, J.J. – “Rewind” (Crazy Mama Music) ALike Dylan, when J.J. Cale goes into the studio, he just starts playing the songs he has and records until he gets tired. Then he selects the ones he thinks go together and puts out an album. This disc is a collection of the ones that weren’t previously released from those efforts. It’s classic Cale...groovin’, easy beats and gruff, restrained vocals and sometimes with a little country flavor. Good for all mixes...you can’t argue with JJ’s beats...tasteful and satisfying.
Rush, Bobby – “Raw” (Deep Rush Music) A-
Here is a surprise disc from a tried-and-true electric blues player. Rush, first famous on the southern chitlin circuit and now a large and popular name in the blues, is usually backed by a full band complete with horns. Think he decided to follow the lead of other electric blues players and put out an acoustic collection. This is great because it showcases Rush’s talents uncovered by sidemen. He’s good! This disc, mostly medium tempo numbers, (and all original tunes but for 1, 2, and 4) is good for most mixes. Liked it!
