Valoración: VERY GOOD
If in his previous album recorded together with harmonica player Marcos Coll, singer and guitar player Stefano Ronchi clearly showed his quality as composer and arranger, both in fields of the old blues tradition and the most actual one in accordance to the new times, with this new recording Ronchi confirms his upward career and the knowledge of the musical landscapes this Italian artist is moving on As I have just said, he walks with a firm step between tradition and avant-garde This is an album to listen attentively, but also perfect to enjoy and dance, because it includes a varied well selected repertoire My only objection would be it sometimes seems Stefano is more willing to give a lesson and show his knowledge and personal technique rather than playing music with the feeling, passion, devotion and sincerity the blues requires Anyway, this will not prevent to recognize the merits of a well recorded bright album with an excellent final production
