If you happen to be within earshot of a radio sometime between noon and 1 p.m. Friday (7/11), I'll be reviewing Joey Gilmore's fine new CD, Bluesman. Dial up WLRN-91.3 FM and tune in to Ed Bell's South Florida Arts Beat.
The new recording is a real crowd-pleaser, filled with some classic blues interpretations, a couple of originals and a pair of Graham Wood Drout bookends, including an excellent read of "Ghosts of Mississippi," which is punched up here with horns and backup vocals. Gilmore more than does justice to the image-laden lyrics that earned "Ghosts" a Blues Critics Award for song of the year when a different version of the song appeared as the title track on Gilmore's 2005 recording.
