Our Take
Our Take
In his latest album, "Hokum Bluesin," Chris 'Bad News' Barnes brings a refreshing twist to the traditional blues genre. From the moment you hit play, you're hit with infectious energy and a playful spirit that is impossible to resist.
Barnes effortlessly weaves together elements of old-school blues with a modern flair, creating a sound that is both familiar and completely unique. His vocals are raw and gritty, perfectly complemented by his expertly crafted guitar playing.
Tracks like "Bluesin' Shoes" and "Hokum Boogie" showcase Barnes' ability to get audiences grooving and toe-tapping in no time. The album is a masterclass in storytelling, as Barnes laments lost love and celebrates the joys of the everyday with wit and charm.
At times, "Hokum Bluesin" feels like a trip back in time to the smoky bars of the 1920s, but Barnes' contemporary sensibilities keep things feeling fresh and relevant. It's this balance between tradition and innovation that sets Barnes apart from his peers.
Overall, "Hokum Bluesin" is a delightful romp through the world of blues music, brought to life by a talented musician with a knack for storytelling and a passion for the craft. Chris 'Bad News' Barnes may have a reputation for bringing the blues, but with this album, he's sure to bring a smile to your face.
