Need a little something to pair with that Kentucky Spirit? Go staight down to your neighborhood music shop and pick up a copy of Ronnie Earl’s Healing Time. This all-instrumental album from the East Coast guitar phenom, his first on the Telarc label, is a fit companion to a glass of strong bourbon. With the first few licks from Hammond B3-master Jimmy McGriff on the opening cut, you’ll know you’re being taken to church. And Churchin’ does not disappoint. Other favorites are the throwbacks Catfish Blues and Lunch at R&M’s. Jazz-heads will find Ronnie’s genre-bending cover of Grant Green’s Idle Moments intriguing. Ok, this isn’t the straight-ahead blues of Ronnie’s past, but it’s sweet and mellow and carries a punch—just like the bourbon you’ll be enjoying while you listen.Technorati tags:
