RE: [Harp-L] Jason Ricci Revue from Orlando Blues Society - OBBS

["Anthony Smith" <anthony@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I didn't make it to the show but I have been out listening to some of the You tube and have heard his newer stuff on Bluesville and he seems to have gone a bit more bluesy and no doubt the guy can play, play, play!

Two things and I think only two things really turn me off with his music.  1) the psychotic screams that come out on occasion. 2) playing the same riff for 4 minutes of an otherwise stunning 9 minute solo.

In other words, drop some of the Nine Inch Nails shit and go a bit more towards The Dead, Derek Trucks, et. al. and then hit the Jam scene.  That is a formula that will work and it seems like the latest CD is a big step in the right direction.
