Music reviews of Make It Rain
Music Review: Just RIPPIN
Rating: 5 Stars
I have all of the Michael Burks cds. Some consider his first one the best (and relatively hard to get anywhere but on Amazon), but every CD has some good and some variables. Everyone's taste is different so the ones I may not like, may be the ones someone else swears by. The cds are all like real time live plays, though some live played songs in a club may go on doble or so.
He plays the Strat with most of the songs, and the Flying V for some songs (albert king types). Big dude, from ARK, though plays a hard hitting mississipi sound reminiscent of RL Burnside, choppy blues with a hint of rock and down home (The North Mississippi Allstars features the kids of RL Burnside and others, and quite a few of those songs run with those of Michael Burks). When the dude plays a show, he doesn't know when to quit, plus he's nice with all the fans.
When I first saw him he had an all 'brother' band, but has since changed a few hands. Burks has a such a nice disposition, he could be any christian's really good neighbor, provided that they can handle some BB King, Albert King, Robert Johnson style 'gospel' music that really comes from within.
His aren't blues that are written in any sort of book, but each tune is soul language from deep within. Sad to say it, but the blues are the language of the oppressed. Some people listen to the blues to feel better, but when you listen to a guy like Michael Burks, it can make a grown man cry and feel closer to the Savior- music that only comes from some regular guy that has been beat down, beat up, made to suffer, had to pray a time or two, whose only 'offense' in life was that he was a little more brown than the rest of us. When a guy like that picks up a guitar and spills his gut...well, if you don't feel anything deep down, as a human perhaps you need to change a few things around. better believe it.
