Dave Thrift - Cruise Music - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Chicago blues session w. The Bluebirds featuring v Robinson, Feb. 1, 1994 date.

More jaw dropping, over-the-top slide guitar. InchBlistering... relentless slide strafes and searing single-line solos... comes at you so hard you'll barely have time to catch your breathInch-GUITAR PLAYER

Even in a genre oversaturated with fast-jamming electric guitarists, this Australian singer-songwriter's improvisations are always original and occasionally revelatory. He's a surprisingly soulful singer, in a less-polished, B.B. King sort of way, and his constant solos never drown the focus of a catchy acoustic song like InchMean Old AirplaneInch or an electric stomper like InchStormy Seas.Inch Ultimately, this 1993 CD is for guitar aficionados-Dave Hole's playing mimics his voice perfectly on the title track, and his slide achieves an Allman Brothers-style moan on Big Bill Broonzy's standard InchKeys to the Highway.Inch -Steve Knopper
