Lonely And Blue
Self-Released, 2020
8/10
A Brooklyn based trio known for their energetic live show, the Bushwick Blooze Band are in the process of completing their sophomore album, Yes Dear, but didn’t hesitate to offer up this first single from the much anticipated LP.
The 6 minute tune leads with emotive and spirited bluesy guitars from Brother Dave, where his soulful vocals complement the mood well, while Chas Rio and David Cornejo anchor the setting with their precise, cautious bass and drums. A tune with much power and rhythm, a soaring guitar solo closer to the end and the subtle hammond organ help cement “Lonely And Blue” as a perfect example and timeless and classic blues rock.
With the potentiality of live music returning in 2021, let’s hope that these 3 can get back to what they do best, but in the meantime absorbing their recorded output will more than suffice for the unwavering blues fans
Travels well with: Artur Menezes- Fading Away; Heather Newman- Rise From The Flames
