Ice Cream
Easily the best blues guitarist this country has produced since Clapton' said one recent reviewer, and 'Ice Cream', from Eddie Martin, shows why many consider this prolific performer and song-writer to be the new face and future of British Blues. Earthy as the best Classic British blues - intense and raw like early Cream or Led Zeppelin - but revealing a deeper connection to the American Blues that Martin has spent his life studying - this album takes blues into the 21st century. 'Lets Move it On' is the opener - a modern day blues-rock classic. It showcases Martin's stunning slide guitar-work and the maturity of his song-writing. With his top Chicagoan rhythm section, the album boasts intense electric blues that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the best of Buddy Guy. In that vein is the slow-burn screamer 'Put the Brakes On'. The arrangement takes you to the tropics before dropping you in the plunge pool, perfectly matching the angst of the songs lyrics. Next up is the album's title track, 'Ice Cream', a dark, sexy shuffle which takes us to the swamps of Mississippi. This, and the soulful ballad 'Love is Like A River' (featuring Andy Sheppard on soprano), show the tough and tender sides of Martin as a composer and performer. These tracks are likely to be the big radio hits of the album. The album then takes us on a roller-coaster ride of pedigree blues song-writing from old-time country blues 'Blues Took Me By the Hand' to rocking party shuffles 'Cherry Red' and modern funk blues 'Keep It Natural'. Martin's six previous cd releases have been rave-reviewed for their musicianship and songwriting. 'Ice Cream' stands head and shoulders above its peers and demands to be listened to.
