Music reviews of Red Cadillac
Music Review: Must-Have Album for Blues Veterans and Blues Beginners
Rating: 5 Stars
Johnny Rawls is currently one of the foremost bluesmen and is at the top of his game with Red Cadillac. Johnny and the band show the are able to nail several styles such as "Get it While You Can's" funky groove or "Mississippi Barbecue's" upbeat soul or "Wash Your Hands'" cajun shuffle which sounds like it could have been written by Dr. John. The band plays great together and they use just enough horns and just enough of Johnny's lead guitar to add a soulful smoothness over the whole album. Johnny also shows his ability to throw out some great blues licks especially in the Rockin' "Cheatin Woman". Even though Johnny shows his old-school blues training with several songs that have traditional blues themes such as good times, bad times, women, and drinking, the album also has several intellegent and intellectually stimulating socially conscious songs that are powerful without sounding preachy. If you're just getting into the blues or if you've been listening to the blues for 50 years, there's no reason not to own this album.
Description of Red Cadillac
Red Cadillac has been nominated for Soul Blues Album of the Year and Johnny Rawls nominated for Male Soul Vocalist of the Year. The Blues Music Associaition Awards, W.C. Handys, are the blues version of a Grammy. Red Cadillac was # 1 on the blues charts in August and stayed in the top twenty for three months. With his first #1 hit and the Blues Music Award nominations, Johnny Rawls is finally getting the recognition he deserves. The album has received rave reviews, including from both Blues Revue and Living Blues magazines. It is an instant soul classic and has been compared to the great soul recordings of Stax, Motown and Hi Records. While recapturing that sound and feel, Red Cadillac has a 21st century attitude with some social commentary about the current mess along with good time songs, love songs, love lost songs and occasionally a suggestive lyric or two. These are 14 well- crafted songs, nearly a double album, performed by an artist at the pinnacle of his career, backed by top musicians, including Texas band, the Rays who also backed him on the critically-acclaimed No Boundaries CD. The songs are all originals written by Rawls and Bob Trenchard, who wrote the No Boundaries songs for him.General CDs
