Free Music Review: Not to be missed
Hit: 5 Stars
This album deserves to be heard. This is my first review for Amazon. "Goin' Home" is a gem of an album that should be in the collection of anyone who cares about quality music. Paul Rishell is one of only a handful of contemporary masters of pre-war blues guitar. Annie Raines' harp fits his playing like a hand to a glove. They breath life into little known classics. Within their version of "Hunkie Tunkie Blues" you can hear the original, updated with a full band, and overlaid with tasteful slide guitar. Slide guitar takes a different tone, but also stands out, on the wistful "You've Got It Made." "Memphis Town," an old Scrapper Blackwell/Leroy Carr tune, is infectious from the first piano chords. The duo is able to make old songs real and fresh for a new generation of listeners. The song writing on their originals is so solid and timeless that the transition from a classic song to an original is seamless and transparent. Annie Raines' harp steps forward and shines on "Candy" and "Lookin' Good." Paul Rishell's guitar playing is so gifted that his skills as a vocalist might be overlooked. His singing is genuine and heartfelt. On an earlier album they covered Charlie Patton's "Some of These Days." "Goin' Home" contains a live version of the same song. While this song is a personal favorite, it is remarkable how his vocal rendition has changed and grown over time.
The care taken in producing this album is obvious. It is a rare thing these days to find an album that is this solid from start to finish. Again, "Goin' Home" is a real gem. This album has to be an award winner. It is a 'must have', chicken skin music.
Goin Home Poster
Discriminating fans of roots music in southern New England have known it for years. At long last, the rest of the world is catching on to the fact that guitarist Paul Rishell and harmonica player Annie Raines are among the most earnest and entertaining blues artists active today. Ending a two-year hiatus from the studio with this fourth collaborative album, the pair gives ample proof of their gift for granting new life to old neglected blues and gospel numbers--with a band or without. Deep feeling combines with stellar musicianship on pre-World War II classics like Sonny Terry's risqué "Custard Pie" and Leroy Carr's "Memphis Town," while the two tradition-bound originals hold up as well. There's a new depth to Rishell's vocals here and Raines adds creditable singing and mandolin playing as this talented duo continues to surprise. --Frank-John HadleyBlues Music CDs
