THE BLUE RIDER TRIO: Early Morning Blues

“The fact that one of the best acoustic blues albums of the year comes from three white boys from Maryland might surprise you—that is, until you realize that it’s the return of the Blue Rider Trio, who kicked up a lot of **** out of nowhere with their 1992 release Preachin’ the Blues...” raves Blues Revue. That out-of-print debut became a treasure among both hard-core blues fans and audiophile connoisseurs. Early Morning Blues joins this collectors’ jewel with the Trio’s final and arguably best album. On that last session, Ben Andrew’s voice and wailing guitar have gained a seared-by-life bluesiness; Mark Wenner’s moaning harmonica cuts even deeper; and Jeff Sarli’s slap bass adds layers of subtlety to his knock-you-down drive. The rich vocal detail, intense dynamics, and three-dimensional overtones add extra excitement and authenticity to this tasty collection of Chicago, Delta, and Texas acoustic blues. The Absolute Sound was unambiguous: “This is as close to live as I’ve heard a recorded trio get...I dare you not to fall in love with this uniquely American music and this firecracker performance.”(#12132) Ben Andrews, Vocals & Guitar Jeff Sarli, Bass Mark Wenner, Harmonica

/ My personal introduction to the harmonica and it's hauntingly beautiful soulfulness was in Army Basic Training Fort Dix N.J. 1971 , where/when our platoon Sgt. would have/order a fellow trainee (from TX. iirc), play a few tunes as we huddled under our pancho's knee deep in raining water and mud (in one instance, seared into my musical memory now), along with the co-mingling smell of sweat and rubber of our O.D. green ponchos , allowing for moments of soothing comfort, excapism and peace as we rested for ten minutes , prefixed with the call to "Fall Out, Smoke 'em if you got 'em". Yes, a peak musical memory to this listener of the harmonica played now, and how it is perhaps from some such experiences that music has a deeper pull and effect upon certain listeners who gravitate to the audiophile reproduction experience, here and now .
 
Happy listenings ~
