BLUES WALKIN’ LIKE A MAN celebrates the music of one of the most important founders of the country blues style, “Eddie” Son House. House was mentor and teacher to Robert Johnson, and, 40 years later, to Rory Block. In the liner notes Rory tells how, at 15 years old, she sat face to face with Son House and learned more than just notes and techniques but invaluable information about the passion and spirit of the music, lessons straight from the source that have inspired her throughout her career. Culminating in this recording are years of dedication, passion, and perspective conveyed to Rory by one of the greatest masters of the style. This is the follow up recording to Rory’s Robert Johnson tribute The Lady and Mr. Johnson, winner of the 2007 Blues Music Awards Acoustic Album of the Year.

Rezensionen

"... as feisty, fierce and compelling as the masters she honors and interprets... Haunted and hallowed, Block's performance is nerve raw throughout, cutting vocally and instrumentally through the years, into your soul." MIKE JURKOVIC The Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange

"... The tension between Block's searing guitar work and the pain in her voice is so palpable you can only echo the query made by Son himself after he first heard her perform: "Where did she learn to play like this?'... Close to the earth and close to the heart, that's Blues Walkin' Like A Man, yes indeed." David McGee The Bluegrass Special

"... The album brims wi y channel the haunting origins of this music is as moving as her guitar work." SHAWN HAMMOND Guitar Player Magazine

"...Rory Block interprets 13 of Son House's most powerful blues songs... imbuing them with the visceral quality of the master, himself, channeling that energy through both her vocals and searing guitar playing."Top40-charts. com

“... Block’s one of the finest acoustic blues performers going... She’s also a first-class guitar player and treats this stuff as fire and brimstone, Old Testament tablets, not to be trifled with.” BOB MERSEREAU Telagraph Journal

"... passionate guitar playing... vocals that have been described as "otherwordly"... she is pure Americana, purveying our nation's roots music with an uncompromising passion matched by few others."mFred Adams An Honest Tune

"... powerful... fiery... Blues Walkin' Like A Man is a loving tribute by Rory Block... If there's justice in the world, not only will this disc reap benefits for Ms. Block, but it will also turn on a new generation of blues fans to one of the most powerful and influential blues guitarists ever." Graham Clarke Blues Bytes

“... a stunning new release from blues traditionalist Rory Block... amazing guitar licks and emotive, wrenching vocals... JIM HYNES Elmore
