Bayou Road Blues blues.pl review translation

From the sound of silence emerges skrzypiącego wooden chair – someone sat down comfortably. After telling “oh right” begins with music, very different from that which today offer great blues label. It is acoustically, but not so much in the spirit of Robert Johnson, but rather Lightnin’a Hopkins – more loosely, lazy, a bit like the folk-blues recordings from the sixties. Rhythm is dense, and guitar sounds mixed with a clear potupywaniem and acoustic harmonica. From this emerges the voice of the jungle. Oldish and rugged, but more cheerful than depressed – as if singing for friends during the weekend barbecue. This is the music Ernie Vincent – lead singer and guitarist who ever enrolled funk music hit “Dap Walk” from 1972. On the “Bayou Road Blues’ return to roots, which, moreover, gave clear proof of the cover disc to mention the names of Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed and Hopkins, which has already been mentioned. The work of the latter’s music on the album really very hard to associate. The difference may be only a subtle flavor of a whole, though with a hint of New Orleans sauce. This impression is reinforced by Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, who appears as a guest in the composition of the Tambourine “Mardi Gras Chief. It is very short LP, like long-lost album. Well, now we can “find” because – with all sympathy for the contemporary blues of production – is something which today is very difficult to hear anywhere.
