Our Take
Our Take
Billy Boy Arnold is back with a bang on his latest album "Checkin It Out" and it's safe to say that this record is as vibrant as the green and orange splatter vinyl it's pressed on. Arnold effortlessly blends elements of blues, rock and roll, and funk to create a sound that is uniquely his own.
From the moment you drop the needle on the first track, you are transported to a smoky, dimly lit blues bar where Arnold's gritty vocals and masterful harmonica playing take center stage. The album is a rollercoaster of emotions, with heart-wrenching ballads like "Heartaches and Trouble" contrasting with foot-stomping, head-bopping tracks like "Shake Your Boogie."
What sets Arnold apart from other blues musicians is his ability to infuse each song with a sense of joy and playfulness, even when tackling more serious subject matter. His infectious energy is contagious, and it's impossible not to get swept up in the music.
In terms of production, "Checkin It Out" is top-notch, with each instrument shining brightly in the mix. The green and orange splatter vinyl adds an extra layer of coolness to an already killer record.
Overall, Billy Boy Arnold's "Checkin It Out" is a must-listen for any fan of the blues. It's a masterclass in storytelling, musicianship, and above all, having a damn good time.
