Our Take
Our Take
Michael Bloomfield's "Between The Hard Place And The Ground" is a kaleidoscopic journey through the blues, rock, and everything in between. This album feels like the lovechild of Jimi Hendrix and Muddy Waters, with Bloomfield's blistering guitar licks and soulful vocals leading the charge.
From the moment the needle hits the groove, you're transported to a smoky Chicago blues club in the 60s, surrounded by whiskey-soaked patrons and sultry saxophones. Bloomfield's guitar work is nothing short of mesmerising, weaving in and out of each track with a raw intensity that is impossible to ignore.
Tracks like "Born in Chicago" and "The Weight"'ll leave you tapping your feet and nodding your head along to the infectious groove. It's clear that Bloomfield is a master of his craft, effortlessly blending traditional blues riffs with electrifying rock solos that will leave you breathless.
But it's not all high-energy rockers on this album. Tracks like "I've Got a Mind to Give Up Living" and "Albert's Shuffle" showcase Bloomfield's sensitive side, with poignant lyrics and haunting melodies that will send shivers down your spine.
Overall, "Between The Hard Place And The Ground" is a must-listen for any blues or rock fan. Michael Bloomfield's talent shines brightly on this album, cementing his status as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. So grab a glass of bourbon, sit back, and let the music take you on a wild ride through the heart and soul of American music.
