A master of the slide guitar, and this album shows the nuances he's capable of. The vocals are great and the licks are fantastic.Free Music Review: The door opens

Every once in a great while, as a fan of music, you are allowed the opportunity to watch someone grow as a musician. You attend the shows, buy the CDs and hope for the best. For Tony Furtado, an exceptionally gifted musician by anyone's standards, the breakthrough was "Roll My Blues Away."
Before this CD I had always considered Tony a Bluegrass player. While I enjoy Bluegrass, it can be somewhat limiting in its appeal. This is the CD, the MOMENT, in which Tony changed that perception. This CD is blues, jazz, country, blues-grass and way too much fun. This CD took Tony from Bluegrass to Americana, embracing many forms of American music and blending them all in a seamless flow of emotion and positive energy.
I smile every thime I think of this CD. I own three copies.. one for home, work and my car. The "Waterslide" and "Can you Hear the Rain?" are staples of the live Furtado performance. Every song is well recorded, clean, energetic and comfortable. The music challanges and invites. There isn't a bad "cut" on the CD. My only regret is that we had to wait another year or so for Tony to sing!

I saw Tony open up for Eric Johnson in Cleveland last week and he put on an amazing set. It was stipped down, just him along with his guitar/banjo/slide. If you like acoustic music that blends bluegrass & celtic sound, then I recommend "Roll My Blues Away"Free Music Review: Buy It for a Friend!

This is an amazing recording. I've owned it for about two years and I still listen to it almost every week. I give it to friends and family for birthday and Christmas gifts. Unless you hate acoustic music, you will like this album. Tony excels at both slide guitar and banjo, and his guests (Kelly Jo Phelps, for instance) are a nice touch. I've seen Tony play live several times, and he never fails to thrill me with his bluesy, celtic, bluegrass-tinged, old timey, newfangled music.Free Music Review: A Cut Above USDA Prime

Don't be lookin for bluegrass licks on this album - it is pure funk. Delightful, melodious, extremely listenable. This cd has a great mixture of tunes and styles so you won't get bogged down in that same-ol' same-o. It's a little embarrasing that a guy from Florida had to tell me about a musician that lives a couple of miles from me, but I'm damn glad he did.
