Robert Johnson is the name of a cult. He heard it, anyone who has even the slightest interest in the blues, and for most is synonymous with genius nadziemskiego instrumental (and not just at a time when he lived), the true life blues and - most importantly - extrasensory nature of the music he produced and biography marked by elements esoteric, or even mystical. It all paints a picture of an exceptional character, which is probably the largest and most intriguing in the history of the blues legend. Introduction
this, though not very revealing and it would seem that it and not need it, is a kind of attempt to become aware of how great a burden is faced artist, who wears the exact same name as the aforementioned legend. On the one hand, this name should assist in the promotion of his own people, on the other hand can be a burden in the form of constant comparisons and references which, in the face of the legend will always place the following in an unfavorable position.
It turns out that there is such a musician - one of the heroes of this episode, was born in Forth Worth, Texas Robert Johnson. Released in June this year, yet the album "Robert Johnson's Soul" is his debut phonograph, So it is not surprising that in our country hardly anyone had heard of him, if at all heard. You can also venture to say that Robert Johnson had the Blues Attack its nationwide premiere. And as presented in terms of art? Songs which we had the pleasure to listen to proven that Robert did not bring shame the name, although in this case, any comparison to the master of the Mississippi do not have even the slightest sense for several reasons. First and foremost icons such as Robert Leroy Johnson is niezestawialne with anyone and that's enough to close the topic. When next there is an age, location, genre, style, means of expression, etc.. Without going into further considerations and comparative inquiry into "what if" better to return a few lines up and focus on what has to offer Johnson's debut album and is it worth it to have on your shelf. Already the first notes of the first track showed that we are dealing with a considerable burden on the species under the banner of "rockin 'Texas blues, blues, although this fact was not enough, but it is not under any circumstances allegation. What's more, points out some indecision. Robert yet the end does not know whether to focus only on rock "carving" in texańskim style, or maybe smuggle blues accents, which also leaves him very well, as evidenced by let it be the song "The Weight of Lies." Due to the fact that this is a debut album should forgive him any "dilemma" nature of style, which hopefully will be dispelled on the next album, the more so when it comes to instrumental plane we are dealing with a very talented guitarist. Johnson perfectly mastered drawing workshop (which can be heard very well) not only on such texańskich champions such as Johnny Winter, Billy Gibbons, SRV, Eric Johnson, or even the Freddie King, but also can be sensed in his playing style elements of Ted Nugent. The specific nature of the compositions of Robert gives "rough" sounding 1985 Gibson Les Paul acquired Melody Shop in Dallas, which is his primary instrument (still uses Gibson Flying V, see back cover).
When purchasing this guitar advised him sadly died last year, his father Harold Ray Johnson, and that his son was dedicated this album. If someone likes texańskiego blues-rock, not revealing America, but played by a decent level is "Robert Johnson's Soul" probably interested him, and those who still have any doubt you should wait for his next release and maybe then will find this to buy two discs at once, or give yourself this artist are not exposing themselves to unnecessary deficit in the portfolio:) Let's see how yet Robert Johnson's Soul presents live (although the materials quality is not overthrow but due to the still low popularity of that music, there is not much choice):)
Texański topic continued to the second hour of broadcast, which seized the whole artist of considerable achievements and recognition of Joe Mug, and more specifically his Smokin 'Joe Kubek Band. Probably many met with the homely name and knows that it ensures that a large dose of texańskiego decent sound. In the broadcast we heard recordings from their latest album "Have Blues Will Travel" and a sizeable portion of the concert releases "My Heart's In Texas." Smokin Joe Kubek Band was formed in Texas around 1990. His forms the backbone since the beginning of the already mentioned, was born in Pennsylvania, Joe Kubek and guitarist from Louisiana singer and guitarist Bnois King. Although none of the gentlemen is not a native of Texas, it was settled there and there and make play your music. Joe Kubek since the beginning of his career, he was fascinated by the work of Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter, and above all, Freddie King, whose team had a chance to play. Bnois King and drew its inspiration from jazz. This combination of two distinct guitar styles with a strong voice reminiscent of King's repertoire in the best traditions texańskiego blues-rock for years impressing audiences around the world. The band released a total of 14 albums and in fact each is worthy of attention. It is also worth noting that their first album "Steppin 'Out Texas Style" of 1991 contained the same covers of classic blues.
And that title track from their new album played live:
must admit that it has a concrete trench:)
So a little more Smokin 'Joe Kubek Band:)
because I still freshly made in December of that year, the extraordinary beauty of "Wishful Thinking"
Texańskiego break from the sound of corner shredderów decided to pay us, which debuted from Richmond Virginia Bill Leverty guitarist best known for his firehouse team, representing a more American rock of the 80s of the twentieth century than the typical shredding.
did not come without outake course, this. This time did not fit the presentation of blues-rock guitarist Ian Moore, who also works in Texas. You may have a chance to return to the artist, the more that this year released his new album, signed as Ian Moore And The Lossy Coils "El Sonido Nuevo", the contents of which it is necessary to verify through the prism of the earlier publications by Ian:)
I got a message on the blog: From the nearest
