Post-Industrial Blues is the exciting new release from world-renowned slide guitarist Bob Brozman. After years of exploring multi-ethnic music styles around the world, Bob returns to his blues and Americana roots, for a brave and honest look at a world in change.

This bold album shows Bob at his bluesy best, with edgy vocals and a stunning array of instruments. New songs feature lyrics that touch on topics as relevant as the New Orleans levee breach to the war in Iraq. Bob's vocal stylings are raw and gripping as he sings about the most pressing socio-political issues of our day. Always the adventurer, Bob adds Indian slide guitar, Greek Bazouki, vintage English banjo, and Okinawan sanshin, to the National resonator guitars and Bear Creek Hawaiian / Weissenborn guitars for which he is known. The sound is rounded out with the deep sensibilities of Stan Poplin on string bass and Jimmy Norris on drums. Bob worked closely with Jim, playing percussion with him to build unusual and emotional textures. Even the percussion instrumentation is post-modern, incorporating found items as diverse as grass clippers and the guts of a toy piano.

Emotional and edgy; jovial and brave; Post-Industrial Blues is a perfectly timed soundtrack for today's changing world. A follow-up to Blues Reflex (nominated for Acoustic Album of the Year in 2007 by the Blues Foundation), it is proof that Bob continues to challenge himself artistically, taking risks and evolving in the manner of the great blues pioneers that have come before him.

Rezensionen

W. Dulisch in stereoplay 1/08: "Diesmal zupft er die National Steel und andere Saiten-Dinosaurier mal mit Entertainer-Swingfeeling, mal mit Folk-Sentimentalität. Und er wirft ständig dem Tonmeister ein paar audiophile Preziosen vor das Mikro. Deshalb gilt sein post- industrieller Blues ab sofort als Referenz-CD für die Sparte "Akustische Stahlgitarre".
