Album: So Happy I Could CryArtist: Charlie Love
Label: LovMil Records
Format: CD & Digital Downloads
Charlie Love is a bluesman's Chicago bluesman. An amazing singer, guitarist, songwriter and all around showman who is a treat to see and experience. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this titan of a journeyman, google him and soak in his videos and sound links.
"So Happy I Could Cry" is a nice intro for the uninitiated and a return to the magic for those who has caught his show at festivals or blues venues around the world. The CD offers six wonderful blues selections full of the reflection, wry humor and solid blues that are so much a part of Mr Love's music. I particularly enjoyed "I Called Your Mama" and "She Put Me Out." Five of the songs are covers of well known blues tunes, demonstrating Mr Love's prowess in the genre, as he makes legendary tunes like Muddy Water's "Long Distance Call" and Chester Burnett's "Trouble" his own with his amazing vocal and guitar inter-play.
Five STARS
Highly Recommended
