LIVING IN THE LIGHT, Ronnie Earl & the Broadcasters' followup to 2008's well-received HOPE RADIO, is a veritable treasure of blues guitar playing. Nearly every track--most over five minutes and recorded in spacious state-of-the-art sound--features rich, vibrant playing from the contemporary blues master. Not far behind is keyboardist Dave Liminia whose signature work on piano and especially the Hammond B-3 saturates the album. Highlights include a Holocaust-themed song, "Child Of a Survivor," penned by Earl and the Rev. Debbie Branford, and sung by guest Kim Wilson of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, who also contributes a blistering harp solo. There are also some traditional acoustic guitar turns. as on "Donna Lee," an original dedicated to Earl's wife, and Robert Jr. Lockwood's "Take A Little Walk With Me," both sung by Wilson as well.
Industry Reviews Earl's playing is in fine form throughout....Those looking for blues-fueled inspiration need go no further than this showpiece.
