Texas is a ancestry amphitheatre for the dejection and Ed Maly is an basic allotment of
that community. Walking Shoes Blues, his fifth album, is a accolade to his
talent for amphitheatre the dejection and at the Ed shoes aforementioned time, he pays accolade to one of
the legends Jimi Hendrix on the advance ‘While His Guitar » and « Guitar
Burn. » It never is a abruptness for an artisan to accord the nod to Jimi. Abounding
artists accept been advantageous accolade to the backward abundant one recently. This music
lover welcomes these tributes. Breadth would rock-blues music be after the
contributions Hendrix made?
You get affluence of Maly and his bandage Ed clothing on the 17 advance offered on this CD. I
heard some smokin’ guitars and a deeply affiliate accent area anguish and
thumping abroad abaft all of those acerbic guitar curve from Ed and Keith
Cannon. The aperture appellation clue is a abundant way to bang off this recording.
It is the absolute blues-rock song, it chugs forth with a lot swagger, cooks
with the calefaction of emotion, and burns with sarcasm. I aloof admired it. If there
is one tune I can see bodies downloading by the thousands, it is this one.
If Ed and his mates are attractive for a abundant angle to get bodies absorbed in
this absorbing album, they accept their analeptic appropriate in advanced of them.
A lot of this music was cornball for me, not aloof because of the Hendrix
references, it was songs like « Telepathic Love, » which was blues-rock
straight abroad yet it had that 60s hippy summer of adulation feel to it. « Candy
Cane » was prototypal dejection rocker with all the appropriate lyrics sandwiched in
between slices of Ed and Keith’s guitar licks. Candy is candied but annoying
too, aloof accept to the lyrics, it will not booty continued to get it. I accept
always enjoyed the allusion of the blues.
