CD Reviews

Harp player's nirvana

V-Harpman | 10/19/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"As a harmonica buff, blues player and reviewer, I am so overjoyed to find a pre-70 styled blues harmonica tracks layed down by Bobby Rush. A veteran and a close friend, Bobby has produced nearly 230 records- that is huge for a 74 yr young bluesman from Jackson, MS. I highly recommend every beginner and intermediate harmonica player to own his works. Great acoustic rendition especially in an era that has gone so electronic.

I laud Amazon.com for carrying blues music and making it easier to purchase the valuable collection."

"RAW

By

Bobby Rush

Deep Rush Visuals, 2007

Blues lovers will find a lot to like in this album. Raw features fourteen tracks, including the bonus "Bobby Rush for President." This is blues at its most basic, a skilled bluesman with an acoustic guitar, a harmonica and foot stamping percussion, the perfect combination to showcase Bobby Rush's unique musical talents at their best.

Eleven original numbers are featured in this collection plus three covers, "Boney Maroney," "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl," and "Howlin' Wolf," which the artist slows down to a ballad that reverberates with power in his remarkable interpretation.

A good mix of tunes is included. "What's the Use," and "I'm Tired," speak of the common man's economic situation and "How Long," addresses the struggles of African Americans and promises made and broken. "9 Below Zero" and "You Don't Love Me," are songs of love gone wrong. The rollicking "I Got 3 Problems" features fantastic acoustic guitar and harmonica work and "Glad to Get You Back," one of the most outstanding tracks on the album, is one of three songs featuring a Dobro played with a bottleneck slide.

Raw has been nominated for the Blues Music Award "Album of the Year," and one thing is certain. It is a savory dish of blues seasoned with a dash of funk and soul that should tempt any listener's palate.
