Music reviews of Devil's Slide

Music Review: Ragtime wizardry from the king of the National Guitar
Rating: 5 Stars

Bob Brozman is, from what I can tell, a criminally under-purchased music recording artist: he must be, since he has sold fewer records than guitar legends such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and BB King, in whose company his name is surely entitled to be dropped.

This record comprises a lot of quirky Ragtime and Hawaiian cuts - it's not quite as bluesy as I expected - which all sound fun, until Bob rips into Robert Johnson's monumental Stones In My Pathway, at a pace jaunty enough to sound almost uplifting (not a quality usually associated with Johnson's remarkable oeuvre), when suddenly any doubt you may have been entertaining as to whether you are indeed in the hands of a master instrumentalist are immediately dispelled.

Thereafter, prepare for your eyebrows to spend more time than they usually do communing with your hairline. It shouldn't be possible for a man do do such things with an acoustic instrument. And if it's possible, it sure shouldn't be legal.
