I forgot how much I loved the Blues until I heard "Blues Walk" but then I live in a Jazzy/Blues city and take that genre for granted. Great guitar and drums. I couldn't help boppin'.
Oh man that's good! So good. The rest of the album, instruments, guitar, beat, perfect. I would love to see this live - the audience is always part of the pleasure in enjoying this style of music.
I liked the track "Can you drive me home" which had a marvelous beat and that up the scales and down - it reminds me of my hitch-hiking days in California (long ago). That hope rises when seeing those headlights coming down those long dark roads and then - only to be crushed.
"Don't close the door" is very bluesy and plaintive.
"Blues for a soldier" brought back memories and made me melancholic. Good Blues!
These tracks are mostly upbeat like "Neon Highway" with its speed and rock feel. Even the more traditional Blues tracks had an upbeat feel. Many of these compositions had a peculiar lilt to it that is endearing and catchy.
This is superior music and I discovered a secret stash of "Persson" albums which needed to be searched for as they are not on these particular pages. There are three other albums which seem to have their own pages. Well I'm off to check them out. Sorry for gushing :}
P.S. Check out that YouTube video: Persson Blues for a Soldier. It will break your heart.
This is some serious stuff...it is super.
Muy buen album. Dificil destacar algun tema porque todos estan a muy buen nivel. Buena guitarra y buen control del tempo.
A very easy to listen to, perfect, heartfelt,emotional, beautiful, intoxicating, atmospheric-al, jazzy, blues, acoustic, electric guitar, instrumental album. To saviour and enjoy. That is perfect for the heart,mind and soul. Dip inside and check this flavoured filled delight surround sounds of music out.. ps this guy is excellent in playing both acoustic and the electric guitar, you should here the solos he does.
I have always been a fan of blues and instrumental music. This album brought me to my roots. It is a great and professionally done work, a great sound and a really good recording (absolutely no background noises!!!).
I enjoyed the whole album and listened to it at once, finding myself playing "the air piano" along all tunes!
This IS Blues.
...En hommage aux soldats du Vietnam...Après avoir traversé l'enfer et le Paradis au Pays si doux de l'extase et du raffinement, après avoir transformé le plomb en or...on a qu'une envie : d'amour, plus de guerre...
Bravo et merci
