Devil's Slide

UNIQUE DOESN'T COVER THIS MAN- TALENTED ALONE DOESN'T COVER THIS MAN!! NO MATTER WHAT INSTRUMENT HE PLAYS HE OWNS THE THING!! VASTLY OVERLOOKED!! WE LOST HIM WAY TO SOON- DYNAMIC POWER PLAYER ON ANY INSTRUMENT- HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BRILLANT PREFORMER!! IF YOU HAVE NEVER HEAR BOB BROZMAN- YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF- BUY ANYTHING WITH THE NAME BOB BROZMAN ON IT- IT WILL BE A KEEPER!!

The music was kind of all over the place, calypso, Hawaiian, blues

This guy can really play the guitar, and I like his satchmo better than I like satchmo himself. Limited voice but not more so than you-know-who. Absolutely worth a flier if you have never heard of him. BB plays a real mix of styles (detailed on the cover: calypso, country blues, jazz. etc?) with serious chops and a good sense of humor, a combination you won't find that often. I didn't know I liked calypso. I hope he's still at it.

As already stated, Bob Brozman is a virtuoso performer. Many of the pieces have a sort of goofy twang to them. You start by laughing, then you notice how musical they are.I also have to mention the great piano playing by George Winston, who usually does more "new age" stuff on his own albums.Some of the pieces on this album were previously released on Bob's earlier pre-CD recordings. I really wish this CD (or any!) contained his phenomenal "Sweet Georgia Brown".

This is more than the description of "twenty-one songs sharing sding syncopation;" it is a fantastic display of technical virtuosity both beautiful and sublime that will leave you wishing for more, give me more...

Ok, Ok, so we all know the Mississippi delta shines like a National guitar, and so does the cover of Dire Strait's poly-platinum "Brothers in Arms", but if you want to know what one *really* sounds like, here is the place - with the greatest respect to Messrs. Simon and Knopfler - you need to start.Bob Brozman is, from what I can tell, a criminally under-purchased music recording artist: he must be, since he has sold fewer records than guitar legends such as Stevie Ray Vaughan and BB King, in whose company his name is surely entitled to be dropped.This record comprises a lot of quirky Ragtime and Hawaiian cuts - it's not quite as bluesy as I expected - which all sound fun, until Bob rips into Robert Johnson's monumental Stones In My Pathway, at a pace jaunty enough to sound almost uplifting (not a quality usually associated with Johnson's remarkable oeuvre), when suddenly any doubt you may have been entertaining as to whether you are indeed in the hands of a master instrumentalist are immediately dispelled.Thereafter, prepare for your eyebrows to spend more time than they usually do communing with your hairline. It shouldn't be possible for a man do do such things with an acoustic instrument. And if it's possible, it sure shouldn't be legal.
