Hi Nutty - Thanks for posting over on the minority report thread. Turns out I had just come across LA Blues Authority today. Listened to track 1 but did not get much further in that recording. Have it saved in Spotify for a future listen.
By the way, saw Robin Trower this week. It was an OK show. A small venue with decent sound. A couple hundred people at most. He played from around 9 to 10:30 or so. Love his guitar tone…it sounded as good as on the albums. He’s no shredder but he does have a trademark style and sound. There’s an economy and good musical sensibility at work when he plays. I call him Mr. Riffs R Us though I did find myself getting a little bored at points during some of the pieces with longer instrumental breaks. He played a fair amount from Bridge of Sighs. But since I don't know his latest stuff or his broader discography all that well, can't tell you much more about what he covered. Did recognize "For Earth Below" as the final piece of his encore. Two much younger guys with him on bass and drums. Bass player doing most of the vocals. Robin did a few but more a sort of "talking lyric". You wonder what these guys think backing him…he’s been around so long and seen so much. What do they find to talk about on the bus? (assuming they travel together). Skinny, little old white dude now but one thing I liked to see is he still seemed to enjoy playing. Small crowd there loved him. I think he felt that.
