Our Take

If Pitchfork reviewed the album DAVE ALVIN & PHIL ALVIN Lost Time:

In their latest collaboration, the Alvin brothers take us on a musical time warp back to the roots of American music. Lost Time is a joyous romp through blues, rockabilly, and boogie-woogie, with Dave and Phil Alvin trading off vocals and guitar licks like a pair of seasoned vaudeville performers.

From the rollicking opener "Mr. Kicks" to the haunting ballad "Papas on the House Top," Lost Time is a masterclass in musical storytelling. The brothers' voices are as weathered and wise as ever, conveying a lifetime of experience in every note.

The album is a testament to the power of sibling harmony, as Dave and Phil's voices blend seamlessly together, creating a rich tapestry of sound that transports the listener to a bygone era. Songs like "Please Please Please" and "Feeling Happy" are catchy and infectious, while tracks like "Southern Flood Blues" and "I Lost My Job of Loving You" showcase the brothers' storytelling prowess.

Lost Time is a timeless tribute to the music that inspired a generation of artists, and a reminder that the Alvin brothers are still at the top of their game. With its infectious energy and heartfelt performances, Lost Time is a must-listen for any fan of American roots music.

About the artist

Dave Alvin & Phil Alvin

Dave Alvin and Phil Alvin are the dynamic duo that make up the legendary blues band The Blasters. Hailing from Downey, California, these brothers have been making music together for over four decades, blending rock, punk, and R&B to create their unique sound. Dave, the older of the two, is known for his gritty, soulful vocals and masterful guitar playing. He has been a staple in the American music scene since the late 1970s, both as a solo artist and as a member of The Blasters. With his raw energy and powerful stage presence, Dave Alvin is a force to be reckoned with. Phil, on the other hand, is the harmonica-wielding younger brother who adds a bluesy edge to the band's sound. His soulful wails and expertly crafted solos have earned him a reputation as one of the best harmonica players in the business. Together, Dave and Phil Alvin make music that is at once timeless and fresh, drawing on classic influences while pushing boundaries with their innovative approach. With their latest album, "Common Ground: Dave Alvin & Phil Alvin Play and Sing the Songs of Big Bill Broonzy," the brothers pay tribute to the legendary blues musician who has inspired them throughout their careers. The album is a masterclass in storytelling and musicianship, showcasing Dave and Phil's unparalleled chemistry and musical prowess. In a world of disposable pop stars and manufactured bands, Dave Alvin and Phil Alvin are a breath of fresh air. They are true artists who have dedicated their lives to creating music that is honest, authentic, and unapologetically cool. Whether you're a die-hard blues fan or just looking for some top-notch tunes, Dave and Phil Alvin are guaranteed to knock your socks off.
