BlueS
Stomp-box, Slide, Sass, Sweden, Synonym for harmonica – the
alliterative trick broke down eventually, but the Sustained [that was the last
one] blues of this 2012 album is excellent, a simple but perfectly singular
focus on Sofie Reed as fine vocalist and guitarist and harp player, this
occasionally supported with a gospel-esque chorus as on Open.
Second track Leaving
this Morning is particularly punchy with the harp bursts and electric guitar
plucks, that vocal chorus in a call/response mode on the song title. Slide and
perhaps a more folk-based slant is conveyed in the third which is the album's title
track. Human Every Day is swathed in
a sweet layering of background vocal accompaniment. A blissful slow slide
is matched to a shimmering hummed gospel chorus on Peace Loving You – this is beautiful in its solemnity.
Yes, there were more Ss, but that's writing.
You can listen to and get here.
