RORY BLOCK THE LADY AND MR JOHNSON
Release Date Aug 15, 2006
Label:Rykodisc
Format:Mp3@320

Blues artist Rory Block has been going strong since the mid-1970s, and this 2006 release proves that she hasn't lost touch with her roots. A tribute to blues legend Robert Johnson, LADY AND MR. JOHNSON has Block covering 13 of the icon's tunes, including the stone-cold classics "Cross Road Blues," "Come On In My Kitchen," and "Kind Hearted Woman Blues." It is an intriguing twist to hear a woman singing Johnson's plaintive tales of life, love, and loneliness, and Block's impressive skills as a slide guitarist and soulful vocalist are ripe for the task.
On Rory Block's masterpiece concept album, The Lady and Mr. Johnson, it becomes obvious that she and her guitar are one in the same. The two use each other and live through one another. Block's adoration for the blues has allowed her to explore its various sides, while always remaining true to the sound of her blues idols. Since she first became enthralled with the music of Robert Johnson, sometime around 1964, she had the goal of releasing an album of her covering select songs by the King of Delta Blues -- and 42 years later, boy, did she ever do it. After years of studying and perfecting Johnson's style, Block refers to the album as her Ph.D. The Lady and Mr. Johnson features Block at her Delta blues best. The entire album, save for a gospel choir intro on the first track, is entirely Block. It's just a woman, her voice, and her guitar. Block's guitar playing is impeccable, almost unbelievable as she has completely nailed Johnson's technique -- adding a little 21st century edge to it without taking away from the original music's raw beauty. As with any cover album, certain songs work better for Block than others. Possibly the album's best track, for both its neck-chilling slide intro and Block's soulful vocals, is "Last Fair Deal Gone Down," and the same goes for "Come in My Kitchen."
