CD Reviews

Gettin' There
homesick | United States | 10/30/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I, also, was excited by Corey's first album. It had great sound and musicianship. It Reminded me a lot of SRV, but was also very original.It seemed that Mr. Stevens was scared off by the SRV comparisons/criticisms, because the next two albums moved progressively further away, stylistically. They also became progressively less enjoyable, to me.It's probably tough to follow up as outstanding a debut as "Blue Drops of Rain". This album is a step back towards that original blues sound, and I welcome it. I hope it's a sign of things to come.BTW, I have to agree on "It's Over". Absolutely killer song."
Better, but not Blue Drops

"I fell in love with Corey's music on Blue Drops of Rain, a five star album. Road to Zen, the follow up, was good but a slight down turn. Getaway had a couple of good songs but that was it. Bring on the Blues is better than Getaway but still doesn't reach Road to Zen or Blue Drops of Rain. The reworking of the song Getaway is great, and the highlight of the album. Great guitar tone here. It is much better that the version on the album Getaway and seems to have better recording quality. Triple Jack is also a highlight along with the album's opener. I have to say that Corey spent too much time on slow acoustic tunes which are not my favorite. He still has yet to write a slow blues song that is nearly as cool as It's Over from Blue Drops. A step in the right direction but I hope to see something closer to Blue Drops in the future. A good album, however, and I am glad I bought it."

"i found a copy of this cd after reading some reviews on amazon.com (by accident)........this corey stevens dude rocks!...

who cares if he is a stevie ray vaughan sound-a-like--(that would be a good thing).....their are not too many blues rock artists that can live up to stevie ray's style..(chris duarte,kenny wayne shepherd,indigenous to name a few)......the world needs more blues/rock artists like this....why not "copy" SRV?...stevie copied "hendrix"...it only makes sense....when somethings this good, why not keep it alive!....if you like SRV,texas blues,blues/rock ----get it!"
