Jeff Friedman: Slo & Lo
BySlo & Lo has a dark, gritty blues feel to it, with a rock flavor. Guitar/bass/keyboards/drums. Music that would sound right at home backing Bob Dylan in the early eighties, Infidels time.
A bonus on the CD is a couple of Eric Mingus (yes, that Mingus's son) vocals: "Swamp,& quot; a manic rant in front of Friedman's wailing guitar, and "She Flies Free (Cement)," a spoken word dream poem backed by a country/blues twang. "I Don't Know" has Friedman sounding as if he's bowing the electric strings, with keyboardist Joe Mulholland doing a vibraphone imitation. "Dead Certainties and Dried Roses" drips dark blue, and "Sasja's Tango" evokes images of a relaxed cruise down an open road.
A fine blues/rock outing with a hard guitar bite.
