Music reviews of A Truckload of Blues
Music Review: Modern acoustic blues to rate with the masters
Rating: 5 Stars
I came across this album completely by chance while browsing in a local record shop specialising in blues. As I wandered around the racks it was being played over the shop hi-fi. I heard one track and thought "Hmmm, interesting". I heard the next and thought "Wow, two good tracks on this album". By the time I'd heard 4 or 5 tracks I couldn't resist - I went to the counter and asked to buy it, still without knowing who it was. That's how good this is. It turns out Bob Brozman is an expert historian, lecturer and author on the blues who has done a considerable amount of research in to all manner of traditional acoustic guitar playing styles. But don't think this leads to a stuffy high-brow academic approach to his music. This is an album full of music above all, not dry research information. Bob's playing is technically excellent, and he really lets his slide technique and National resonator guitar sing throughout. His voice is suitably gruff and full of typical blues slurs and drawls. It might sound to some as if he is simply imitating the masters of deep Southern blues he so obviously admires, but I think he stamps his own mark even on such well-known (cliched?) tracks as 'Kitchen Man'. I played this CD over and over when I got it, and have since acquired several other BB albums. Try the free MP3 downloads to get a flavour of his music. I can only say that good as they are, they aren't even my favourites on the album - that's how good it it is!
