Our Take

CLARENCE EDWARDS brings the Downhome Blues straight out of Baton Rouge in his latest album, setting the scene for a foot-stomping, soul-searching journey through the heart of the Louisiana bayou.

From the moment you press play, you can almost smell the gumbo cooking and feel the sticky heat of a Southern summer night. Edwards' gravelly voice cuts through the air like a rusty saw blade, delivering tales of heartache, joy, and everything in between with a vibrancy that is both raw and refined.

The album is a masterclass in traditional blues, with Edwards effortlessly blending elements of Delta blues, gospel, and R&B into a cohesive and captivating sound. His mastery of the slide guitar is on full display here, weaving intricate melodies that transport the listener straight to a backwoods juke joint on a Saturday night.

Standout tracks like "Bayou Boogie" and "Midnight Train" showcase Edwards' skill as a storyteller, painting vivid pictures of love, loss, and redemption against a backdrop of twangy guitars and stomping drums. It's a musical journey that is as enlightening as it is entertaining, leaving you craving another taste of that sweet, Southern sound.

Overall, Baton Rouge Downhome Blues is a triumph for Clarence Edwards, cementing his status as a true blues maestro. So grab a cold beer, find a good rocking chair, and let yourself get lost in the raw, unadulterated beauty of this mesmerising album. You won't regret it.
