LEVENSON, Barry The Late Show

In the mid-1990s he recorded three albums fro Denmark's Storyville label - and then stopped recording under his own name. Good to learn he's back on the scene with this high-profile album containing nine instrumentals and five vocals tracks. Like Ronnie Earl in his best days, Barry Levenson is letting his guitar speak. He's a master of solo building, sometimes sweet and mellow, then tough and raw, and always with soul. Superb Stratocaster sounds. Recommended. - Green packaging. BARRY LEVENSON - gtr, BLAKE WATSON - bass, DAVE KIDA - drums. Special guests: MARY WILLIAMS - voc, FINIS TASBY - voc, JOHNNY DYER - voc/hca, MIKE THOMPSON - kbds, plus horns.
