Rob Ickes: Road Song

Brad Bechtel · From: San Francisco, CA

The new CD by Rob Ickes (dobro player with Blue Highway), "Road Song", is a completely unexpected highlight of my musical year. Rob plays resonator guitar, Michael Alvey plays piano, and Robinella sings on a few tracks. They do a series of popular jazz tunes such as Song For My Father, West Coast Blues, Caravan, etc. (plus one Hank Williams tune, "You Win Again").

This is nothing remotely like bluegrass. It's acoustic jazz, not string band stuff. The dobro sounds remarkably fine on this CD. One of my top ten of the year, no question.

I highly recommend it. http://resorevolution.com/RoadSong.html for details and some short audio clips.

Wow--they did a good job capturing the "live" sound, at least in the clips available. Pretty cool combo. Gonna have to pick me up a copy of the disc.

Thanks for the heads-up,
Vince
