Bernd Rinser Evil, Wild & Blue (LP)

(Fenn Music) 10 Tracks - Gatefold Deluxe Cover - 

Bernd Rinser - RootsRock: The concerts of the "Grand Master of Folk and Blues" are musical walkabouts. The Rolling Stone writes about the music of Bernd Rinser: "there is something wide in this well versed and broken romantic music, which could have come to mind for example Willy DeVille in a similar way". Bernd Rinser, a man with a rough shell and a sensitive core, can be placed between Townes van Zandt, Seasick Steve, Johnny Cash and Willy DeVille. 

The question of whether he's primarily a bluesman with a penchant for poetry or a singer/songwriter with a penchant for blues doesn't really arise. His excellently composed songs are as convincing as they are authentic. They are unsentimental, artistic and yet full of heart tones. The concerts are a must for all romantics and RootsRock fans. When the Bayerischer Rundfunk also says that Rinsers CDs are "by far the most convincing and authentic German blues records", you can expect a top-class concert.
