Ronnie Earl, Pinetop Perkins, Calvin Fuzz Jones, Willie Big Eyes Smith • Eye To Eye



Review by Scott Yanow
This CD is a fine showcase for guitarist Ronnie Earl, who is teamed with three members of the Legendary Blues Band (pianist Pinetop Perkins, bassist Calvin Jones and drummer Willie "Big Eyes" Smith), plus organist Bruce Katz. Although pianist Perkins takes vocals on most of the songs and bassist Jones sings on two of the numbers, nearly each selection has plenty of solo space for Earl and Perkins. Sticking exclusively to the blues at a variety of tempos, the fine program (which has superior instrumental playing that overshadows the personable vocals) should be of strong interest to both blues and jazz collectors.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Este CD es un buen escaparate para el guitarrista Ronnie Earl, que forma equipo con tres miembros de la Legendary Blues Band (el pianista Pinetop Perkins, el bajista Calvin Jones y el batería Willie "Big Eyes" Smith), además del organista Bruce Katz. Aunque el pianista Perkins lleva la voz en la mayoría de las canciones y el bajista Jones canta en dos de los números, casi todas las selecciones tienen mucho espacio en solitario para Earl y Perkins. Ciñéndose exclusivamente al blues en una variedad de tempos, el excelente programa (que cuenta con una interpretación instrumental superior que eclipsa las agradables voces) debería ser de gran interés tanto para los coleccionistas de blues como de jazz.
