Free Music Notes for Lady & Mr Johnson
Free Music Review: I CAN'T GET ENOUGH...
Hit: 5 Stars
I can't stop listening to this CD!! Great picking and sliding, great singing. Rory makes these songs sound new. A great "bare bones" recording. Vocals and guitar very clear, and Rory's distinct 6 string sound couldn't be better. The liner information about the Johnson family is very interesting. If you dig the blues, get this CD. If you half dig the blues, get this CD.Free Music Review: This woman has the blues

I had never heard of Rory Block until I recently heard the 32-20 blues and liked it so much I purchased the album. There is not a bad song on the album and I will be purchasing more Rory Block soon. Her guitar work is incredible, reminding me of Leo Kottke or Ry Cooder. I recommend it highly.Free Music Review: Rory Block Plays Good Blues

Rory Block plays Robert Johnson as well as any guitarist now recording this material. This is an wonderful CD, and is well worth a listen.Free Music Review: BluesLady

After seeing Rory perform in July, I eagerly anticipated this release. A number of artists have done justice to this collection of Robert Johnson songs, notably Eric Clapton, Peter Green, John Hammond and recently Dion. I really believe that Rory matches or exceeds these guys in getting into Robert's skin/soul. Rory's slide guitar is easily as good as Bonnie Raitt and her vocal delivery really communicates. She does not "sing" these songs: she wears them, owns them and breathes them in a most authentic way. Rory is not limited to the blues---check out her cd Tornado. Also look ahead to her collaboration with Robert Johnson's grandson.Free Music Review: Gutsy treatment of Robert Johnson catalog

I came to this cd out of interest in Robert Johnson without knowing a lot about Rory Block. It's a good introduction to her (I've since seen her in concert): very powerful vocals and effective country blues slide guitar. She cares about Robert Johnson's material and treats it well, though her style is a bit rough for me at times. I think Clapton's tribute to Robert Johnson is actually subtler, more varied and more interesting, but this is still good stuff by a dynamic musician.
