Ronnie Earl--Another Soulful Delight
I always think Ronnie Earl's new work is his best, and this is no exception. Super strong, smooth, virtuoso guitar work, perfectly complementary B3 backup from Mr. Dave Limina, and soulful, sweet vocals from Diane Blue. "Wee Hours" and "Six String Blessing" are absolutely beautiful. I could say a lot more but it looks like there are plenty of more detailed reviews posted already. If you like Ronnie Earl, buy this album. You'll think you're in Heave.

Unsung guitar hero , hits anothe home run.
In my mind Ronnie Earl sits up there with the the guitar solo greats like Steve Vai , Joe Satriani, and Jeff Beck, to merely name a few.He plays clean and strong without ever "Showboating". The excellence of his playing continues in this album. The first time that I heard "Six String Blessing ",I was blown away. I was also amazed by the vocals by Diane Blue. She rally can belt out a blues song.She is touring with her own group and should be well worth seeing.

Another winner from Ronnie Earl
As usual, RE & Company come through with solid, well-thought out music. This is what I like to call 'tasty' music--everyone plays so well together, and the solos go for the feel and not just the cheap thrills of a fiery riff. This is the CD that you will play over and over as realize how good these guys really are.

I just really like Ronnie Earl's style
I just really like Ronnie Earl's style. He's one of my three favorites, the others being Buddy Guy and the late Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown. I enjoy listening to his playing and hope one day, perhaps, to be able to play on his level. I'll let the audiophile's give a more in depth review by track.

Too many slow, draggy songs
This is a good blues CD. I really like the upbeat tunes, but there are too few of them. If I want to have a cold beer and hear some blues, I don't want to hear a draggy song about the Boston Marathon bombing. It reminds me of the old Room Full of Blues recordings.

Very good album with a sultry and mostly down tempo flow ...
Very good album with a sultry and mostly down tempo flow that can keeps you wishing for more. Ronnie Earl's playing style is as tasteful as ever in both choice of note and attack. Guest singer Diane Blue has a beautiful voice and certainly a welcome addition. Highly recommended!

Here's the latest from Ronnie Earl and jolly good it is too
Here's the latest from Ronnie Earl and jolly good it is too, especially the fabulous vocalist who covers a couple of songs, however it is not as good as some previous offerings, so if you are new to his music the most important ones to get are Live in Europe (also released as Blues and Forgiveness) and the incredible Hope Radio which is an outstanding recording (and also available as a DVD).

Well recorded. V nice guitar work. Mostly instrumental. A good audio demonstration disk.
Good CD - especially useful for comparing audio equipment, as it is well recorded. With some excellent bass content on track 7. If you like guitar, of a jazzy variation - you should like this. Mostly instrumental tracks, with some vocals.I'd recommend you check out some tracks on iTunes "sample" before buying, to be sure you like the style of music.I think you'd be happy with the quality of the recording - which is v important to me.
