Joe Henry, Glenn Frey, Rory Block

JOE HENRY – DATE FOR CHURCH
How can Could it be that I've been listening to this song for thirty years and I still don't get bored of it? Not only that, but also the album from which it came stretch – Shuffletown, year of grace 1990 – he won't let go of me anymore and continues to affect my emotions. Lunar, nocturnal piece, suspended in the moonlight, with a great Don Cherry on the trumpet that shakes our soul, an enchanted double bass, Joe's nasal voice that enchants us… Magic

GLENN FREY – TRUE LOVE
But how did they do it? Perfect song, maybe it's the heat, but it knocked me out badly. Fast ballad, halfway between soul, rock and jazz, with that sax that turns like a bee on a flower, a riff that relentlessly repeats the whole song, a little sung, a little no. Precise sound, driving rhythm, voice… well there isn't need introductions. Dreamy

RORY BLOCK – LOVIN’ WHISKEY
Ballad from "kiss me right away", performed by one of the specialists of the genre. A deep, male voice, Rory has brought the blues and its surroundings around the States for 50 years, with mixed success, but with crystalline class.
Here beyond the truly particular voice – "interesting timbre" section, those who follow me know – is the little guitar that cheers us up with a pandering solo and yet perfect for a song of this genre. Interesting stamp
