Music reviews of Last Fair Deal
Music Review: Unique, overlooked and underrated
Rating: 5 Stars
I have been a fan of Rory's for 20 years or so. This collection of artistry is the only example of something that makes me laugh and cry at the same time. Her love of music, her love of the guitar, her love of singing has never been more pronounced than in this work. Although an outspoken champion of women's rights, I think when it comes to her guitar, Rory would agree that "she love slappin'that bitch silly, and da bitch like it". Hell, I like it. After years of string bending, she finally puts on the silver finger and gives it all she's got. Way to go, Rory.

Description of Last Fair Deal
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.A veteran blueswoman, Rory Block proves herself both a traditionalist and an explorer through this selection of blues classics, spiritual standards, and original material with a kindred spirit. She pays homage to her musical roots with impeccable renditions of songs associated with her late mentor Son House ("County Farm Blues") and his prize pupil Robert Johnson ("Last Fair Deal Gone Down," "Traveling Riverside Blues"). Yet she takes considerable liberties with the album's instrumental centerpiece, an all but unrecognizable version of the familiar "Amazing Grace," which here recalls Leo Kottke's aural adventurousness rather than the hymnal. The original "Declare" (inspired by the Bible's Book of Job) and the traditional "Hallelu, Hallelu" both find Block multi-tracking her vocals into the call-and-response of a full gospel choir, while "Cry Out Loud" and "Mama's Stray Baby" reflect the folkier strains of her artistry. An acoustic guitarist with a stinging slide and an understated virtuosity, she's more concerned with deep grooves than hot licks. --Don McLeese
