Jean Paul Bourelly: News from a Darked Out Room
Sono dodici bozzetti che vanno dai quattro ai sei minuti l’uno, quasi tutti scritti da Bourelly ed eseguiti con una rilassatezza che non sottintende mai una mancanza di tensione. Il chitarrista utilizza la voce per raccontarci storie che sanno di sensualità, di whiskey, di speranze deluse, di amicizia e solidarietà. Oppure mormora fonemi complementari ai suoni che emergono dalle sei corde, in una comunione espressiva che lascia il segno. Spesso il corpo della chitarra acustica diventa fonte di elementi percussivi che caratterizzano con decisione l’andamento ritmico dei brani.
La conclusiva "Cross Cut Saw" scritta da Tommy McClennan e resa celebre da Albert King, si uniforma al clima tradizionale degli undici brani precedenti e diventa un veicolo perfetto per rappresentare quel mood in chiaroscuro che sin dal titolo è stato scelto da Bourelly per questo album.
