Roy Gaines - Heavy Load
Review by Dan McKenzie
Roy Gaines' album, Heavy Load, is a blues masterpiece that showcases his exceptional guitar skills and soulful vocals. The album is a blend of traditional blues, jazz, and R&B, with each track offering a unique sound and feel.
The opening track, "I Got the T-Bone Walker Blues," sets the tone for the album with its swinging rhythm and melodic guitar riffs. "Black Gal" and "Worried Life Blues" are two standout tracks that showcase Gaines' impressive guitar work and emotive vocals.
The album also features some impressive guest musicians, including saxophonist Plas Johnson, who adds a jazzy flair to "I'm Still in Love With You," and harmonica player James Harman, who brings a gritty blues sound to "Broke and Lonely."
