Other than jazz and classical, there are few other musical genres where vocals don’t dominate, but Ronnie Earl sets out to prove that blues can be another. This entirely instrumental album never lags for a second of it’s hour-and-a-quarter playing time, all without a word being sung. Instead, Earl uses his magnificent guitar tone – a stinging combination of Santana, Hubert Sumlin, Mike Bloomfield, Otis Rush, and Albert King – and command of dynamics to wring more soul from his material than all but a handful of vocalists could ever achieve. He does this without the blinding speed or enhanced volume of the most popular blues six-stringers, but by the sheer intensity of his playing on these 11 tracks.
