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
