ronnie earl AND THE BROADCASTERS cd review living in the light
REJOICE..THIS album may change the way you listen to blues. It is that powerful.
The soul and feel it is simply mindblowing. Following up his successfull Hope Radio Sessions cd and dvd releases on Stony Plain Records Earl is in a a very reflective and engaging work ethic
Earl and the band’s cover of Bob Dylan’s What Can I do for You sung by Dave Keller is the most poignant and soul serching track you will hear this year. Earl’s winding guitar solo at the end the track is breathtaking.
Elsewhere the disc deals out around 5 gorgeous instrumentals the best being Pastorale which closes the album and two long tracks SOS and Recovery Blues both showing the sheer dynamics and feel of the BROADCASTERS as a band.
Not enough can be said about the way this group interpets the songs. IT IS OUTSTANDING
EARL’S guitar work has always reminded me of the way Mike
Bloomfields’s work got under your skin. yes, it’s that GOOD
Kim Wilson drops into the mix for 3 tracks the most notable being the 9 nminute opus Child of a Survivor where he and the band push, pull and get reflective on the homage to the events of the very real Jewish holocaust. This album will move you…john emms
ted nugent reviewed motor city mayhem blu-ray
This disc kicks major ass. The reason is simple.
Nobody has more fun than ‘THE NUGE’..this guy just lives to play rock n roll. It’s in every facial nuance, and every lick from start to finish. The other real kick is Nugent can still rip on the guitar. This thing is a weapon in his hands.
Filmed on July 4 2008, it’s Nuge’s 6000th show..yeah six thousand. If that was not enough this is 3 piece set for the most part. Mick Brown on drums and Greg Smith on bass know Nugent’s every move. it’s so tight it’s scary.
Sure you’ve heard all the tracks before. Cat Scratch Fever, Free For All, Weekend Warrior, Wango Tango. but hell these are killer versions. Derek St Holmes joins Ted for Stranglehold, Hey Baby and of course Cat Scratch Fever and Johnny Bee Badanjek rips up the Mitch Ryder classic Jenny Take A Ride
If you can have this much passion after 40 years, I say bravo Tedster..ripping
