The Blues, The Whole Blues, And Nothing But The Blues
Genre: Blues
Review: Master multi-instrumentalist returns with a stellar set of blues that takes us to electrifying heights as well as intricate acoustic moments. This ain't no tribute album. Bromberg puts his unmistakable stamp on every track, and occasionally throws in the wry wit he is known for. He has a crack band sometimes augmented with horns. Bill Payne from Little Feat sits in on piano
FCCs: none
