Free Music Notes for Is What It Is
Free Music Review: A solid first record for the guitar duo.
Hit: 3 Stars
Steve Freund cut his chops in the clubs of Chicago, and landed the job as Sunnyland Slim's axeman in 1978. He stayed in the blues band, and most notably at his weekly gig at the Chicago, Illinois club B.L.U.E.S. until Slim's death in 1995. Dave Specter took guitar lessons from Freund and started working with him professionally a few years back. It is obvious that both musicians have a deep appreciation for 12-bar city Blues. Freund's playing stands out as more experienced, but Specter accommodates his style very well and fills accordingly. J.B. Hutto's influence on the two players stands out to me in the style, with "Hoverin' Hawk," and "Is What It Is" notably due to the simple but effective leads that convey the chord changes well. The two have put together a solid first effort, and the subsequent would definitely be worth watching for. The album was recorded on June 17-18, 2004 and features Barrelhouse Chuck on two tracks.
