At last….. Maybe that would
be a more appropriate name for this Lynwood Slim
(Richard Duran) album. It’s been a while!!
But it was worth waiting. It turns out to be some
kind of a sophisticated blues album, with a “Jazzy
Edge”. In my opinion Lynwood is one of today’s
best blues vocalists. His voice is smooth and
slick, like the “old fashioned” jazz/swing
crooners. His harmonica playing is marvellous
on every kind of blues harp: small, chromatic….
You name it, he does it!
Right at the start of the album, the first song
“Well Allright, O.K. You Win” knocks
you out. Lynwood and Kid Ramos are just great
on this one. The other tracks on the entire album
are equally good! Kirk Fletcher proves why he
was nominated as best guitar instrumentalist of
the year.
If I had a vote in it….. this album would
be nominated for a Blues Music Award.. no matter
what!!
Don’t buy it??? You’re NUTS! |
