Brad
De Hart - Back With The Blues
Self Produced 2006 De
Hart has compiled some terrific music on this CD
and it is worth a listen. If I were to pick a sound
I would say easy, smooth blues with a little edge
but not in your face.
Look at this line up----all huge songs--
1 – Stormy Monday – True to the old
easy soft blues version Wonderful Best cut on the
CD
2 – Fever – A little “countryish”
but it works
3 – Summertime – A classic, a tad over
on the voice, but very cool
4 – Bring It On Home To Me – A great
old Sam Cooke tune well done by Brad
5 – God Bless The Child - Easy version of
the Billie Holiday great
6 - Baby What You Want Me To Do – Not earthy
enough but a great song
7 – Alright Okay You Win – Again too
much voice
8 – Steamroller Blues – When he slows
it down it gets better again
9 – Sick and Ting especially the guitar
10 - Sportin’ Life – Wonderful old tune
and a nice ballad
-- BUY
THIS CD --
Brad
needs to forget his voice training and get down with
the blues. Sounds like he’s singin’ it
not feelin’ it. The Blues needs more earth less
vibrato. I would like to credit the musicians on this
CD but he didn’t list them. This is an OK CD
but only a 4.0 tops on the STLBluesometer.
