SWEETER THE JUICE, THE
by: LOVE, LAURA/ORVILLE JOHNSON The media and even her own record label have struggled to define Laura Love's musical style, which embraces the blues, bluegrass, jazz, folk, gospel, reggae and country. And she pays the funkiest bass you've ever heard! She has recently begun touring with a master of country blues guitar, Orville Johnson, who joins her on this album filled with Laura's take on old time music! The disc features familiar material from Laura's catalog, some of Orville's songs and a wonderful new collection of spirituals, blues and inspiring songs from the Civil Rights era. |
