This is like a LIVE in the studio recording and this flavour makes this an unforgettable musical experience. ELECTRIC BLUES does not come any better than this. Living in OZZ, killing would most probably not be enough. I'd kill to see this man LIVE. The energy is electric. Sensational vocals, great tunes and some amazing guitar playing make this a MUST HAVE.
My picks are Empty Promises, Salty Tears and Icepick Through My Heart. After SRV and Joe Bonamassa, best electric blues. What a surprise this man is for me. I listen to the album again and again and it seems I will never stop. Ever. Strong voice, but still somehow smoky. All beautiful songs, and Burks sings them very emotionally.
Raw Blues, swinging and loud. I had the honour of seeing the band live in the Biscuits and Blues club in San Francisco, last September. The energy from a live gig is also cauhgt in this album.
I recently had the privilege to see Michael Burks in concert - it was one of the best shows I have EVER seen. I know I was witnessing a blues legend (in my book, he already is one). I've never heard anyone play better - his technique and tone is fabulous. The band was very tight and all were execellent musicians.
I would highly recommend this CD to anyone who appreciates fantastic guitar playing and soulful vocals. Now to Iron Man. After hearing the CD, I recognize the songs from the first set of his show. I can't wait to see him again in another month or so. The CD sounds very much like their show quality - excellent on every tune. His guitar playing is second to none.
This may be one of the best blues-rock CDs ever produced. Get this CD - you won't be disappointed. He played a bunch of songs I had not heard yet - I was expecting most of the songs from "I Smell Smoke". His first set lasted two hours.
It is raw, full of energy, and will bring a smile to your face and a tear to your eye at the same time. Mr.
If you are into the Blues, this CD must be part of your collection. Burks is like Freddie, Albert, and BB King with a dash of Stevie Ray & Otis Rush rolled into one fantastic dynamo.
If you love The Blues, like I do, do yourself a favor and pick up this CD. Burks's live performance spirit (I have seen him live and I know).
Simply dynamite. Michael Burks has recorded an album that is the essence of contemporary electric Blues.
Although this is a studio album, it actually captures Mr.
