Free Music Review: Best Guitar Album These Ears Have Heard
Hit: 5 Stars
I have heard many a guitar player, and often been less than blown away by them. That is not the case with Ronnie Earl.
It pains me to say this, but I can no longer claim that Stevie Ray Vaughn holds my number one spot anymore.
While I enjoy Earls earlier work, I am not a follower of jazz, so it takes a bit more getting used to. This one leans more towards the blues direction.
The notes this man churns out are unbelievable. He has a great tone, and uses it to his advantage. He also has a good ear for the different stylings of blues.
While its hard (and not fair) to assume what SRV may have sounded like today if he survived, I would make the case that it would not be much different than this. I almost want to say Ronnie Earl takes over where SRV left off.
While it is true that this album hits some slow spots, his sound and overall ability make those moments more tolerable to listen to than most other bluesman who are stuck in the same rut.
Opening track "Bobbys Gospel Groove" is an exciting jam beginning to end, with a healthy dose of organ that brings to mind classic Santana.
"Bobbys Bop" keeps the flow going. From here, Earl experiments with some mellow, tasteful "noodling". How you feel about these tracks largely depends on how you feel about guitar music as a whole.
Overall, its the best guitar album I've heard yet. Of course, its largely a matter of personal taste. But he constantly hits on all the styles and techniques I want to hear in blues, covering all the bases I could ask for.
