THE JIMMY BOWSKILL BAND - Back Number

Kategorie: CD-Reviews | Genre: Blues/Bluesrock | Heft: Jahrgang 2012, eclipsed Nr. 137 / 2-2012 | VÖ-Jahr: 2012 | Wertung: 6/10 | Label: Ruf | Autor: AT


The Canadian guitarist and excellent singer Jimmy Bowskill remains true to himself on his new album and celebrates with his power trio Seventies-rooted, riff-oriented blues rock ("Take A Ride"). A pinch of Southern ("Linger On The Sweet Time"), a touch of Led Zeppelin ("Salty Dog", "Sin's A Good Man's Brother") and "stoniger" Heavy Blues ("Broke Down Engine") are professionally and sensitively realized. However, this time he lacks diversity. The numerous songs in the almost identical midtempo would have tolerated a few loosenings. Kicks, but not always.
