Bahto Delo Delo - Tagoi - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Too Much is not enough is a completely different approach to Jimmy Reed. The players are so good that the music speaks for itself. The most important reason to these songs they are the last recordings I did with my good friend, Gary Primich. I had planned to do a Jimmy Reed tribute for more than 20 years. My original idea was to an Omar and the Howlers record which featured guest artists playing on some of the tracks. Too Much is not enough is the result of this vision. Omar Kent Dykes wrote when this album was originally released in 2012. It is now reissued as the inaugural title on the Omar Classics Series on Omar's Big Guitar Music tag. This album also features Gary Clark, Jr. On several tracks.

I Am Not Cool is the follow-up to Norwood's much-praised 2017 debut record Longshot. In addition to Norwood's genial ability to say things you may not want to hear and leave you appreciating the experience, he is also masterful at a kind of tongue-in-cheek levity that is sorely missing from this genre. There's only two kinds of music / What's true and what ain't / It only takes three chords to set the record straight... lyrics on the InchI Am Not CoolInch title cut, a perfect example of how his economy of words is quizzical, meta, and puts a smile on your face all at the same time. Once again, it is astounding how Norwood is able to take such personal matters, write about them with conviction and clarity, make it catchy and memorable, and make you feel like you challenged yourself and had a chuckle all at once. Norwood's brand of vulnerable, self-effacing songwriting, salted with a bit of required brainpower... it's unique. And it's here to stay.
