Josh Smith: Burn To Grow (CD)

(M2) 11 tracks 

Josh Smith has never been more musically complex and yet so recognizably typical Josh Smith, as on his new album 'Burn To Grow'.

What was already indicated on the last two albums ('Over Your Head' and 'Don't Give Up On Me' - CrossCut Records), the guitarist consistently continues on the new album. Josh Smith relies on musical versatility, but always keeps the blues in the focus of his music. That which makes colleagues like Derek Trucks or Warren Haynes so strong also enriches the sound of the L.A.-based guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer. Sophisticated horn arrangements characterize some of the soul and jazz-inspired songs on the new album, thereby also underscoring the quality as a vocalist that has grown over the years. There are certainly some very good guitarists, but few guitar aces who can hold a candle to the Florida-born Smith on the strings and convince with their vocals to boot. As a guitarist, Smith has reached a stage where he no longer has to play himself permanently into the foreground. Smith knows how to set accents and build up tension without overrunning the listener. What We Needis such an example - a classically perfect slow blues.

Yet this gem is the most conventional number on the album. The opener Half Blues, with its driving horns and an almost marching beat, Smith garnishes with almost insidiously inventive licks, to then put the listener with Through The Night, a fluffy, but by no means trivial, yacht pop earworm in the ear canals. Boz Scaggs or Steely Dan would have their joy. Watching You Go, a breakup number with fitting, because surprising breaks, angry riffs, loud howling licks, and great harmony vocals convinces, as does That For You Too with its shiny brass arrangements. 

In Your Love (Is Making Me Whole) a great Southern soul number he treats singer Monét Owens to the lead role. A harmonically flowing number like Look No Further, which you'd like to listen to for a few minutes longer, is juxtaposed with an earthy soul-rock stomper in the Muscle Shoals sound. And You Never Knew, a perfect mix of the hot swinging sound of a Clarence Gatemouth Brown and the ice-cold licks of an Albert Collins doesn't represent a break either. This is Texas blues par excellence. She Survives is the most atmospheric number on the album. Floating, slow flowing, melancholy, and harmonically segueing into the title track Burn To Grow. A pithy and angry number that almost sounds like it was produced by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys and makes a brilliant statement at the end of an excellent record.
