Steve Hill’s latest solo recordings Vol 3 re-imagine what blues rock has been since 1967.
That’ s a good thing.
Yes, blues rock has not changed a lot since The Yardbirds, Cream, Johnny Winter and now Joe Bonamassa made it very popular
Having said that Hill is exciting.
Original tracks like Dangerous, Smoking Hot Machine and the elegant acoustic Slowly Slipping Away feel very real.
Tracks like Rollin & Tumblin and Going Down That Road Feeling Bad have been done too many times by too many people.
Sure, Hill changes them up and they kick big time, but his original work is much better.
His own acoustic Emily is a total winner.
Happy to be riffing, and oh so natural.
That’s when Hill is best!
