Our Take

DION's latest album, "Blues With Friends," is a delightful romp through the world of blues music, with some unexpected twists and turns along the way. The legendary rock 'n' roll singer has recruited a stellar lineup of musicians to join him on this musical journey, including Bruce Springsteen, Jeff Beck, and Paul Simon, to name just a few.

The album kicks off with the energetic track "Blues Comin' On," which sets the tone for the rest of the record - a rollicking, toe-tapping good time. DION's gravelly voice is as powerful as ever, and his passion for the blues shines through on every track.

One of the standout moments on the album is the hauntingly beautiful "Hymn To Him," featuring Patti Scialfa on vocals. The song's soulful lyrics and stripped-back arrangement showcase DION's songwriting prowess, and Scialfa's emotive delivery brings a raw, emotional edge to the track.

Throughout the album, DION seamlessly blends traditional blues sounds with modern influences, creating a sound that feels both timeless and fresh. Tracks like "Song For Sam Cooke (Here In America)" and "I Got Nothin'" showcase DION's versatility as an artist, while still staying true to his blues roots.

Overall, "Blues With Friends" is a testament to DION's enduring talent and his love for the blues. With its infectious energy and top-notch collaborations, this album is sure to delight both longtime fans and newcomers alike. So sit back, pour yourself a drink, and let DION take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. Cheers!
