Title: Good for a third album "jinx"
Review: In this day and age when some blues-rock acts go soft and fluffy on their third album, Eric has beaten the odds here with a solid effort in Black Pearls. It's not quite as raw and nasty as his first album, but the songs are good. I do wish he would have showed off his masterful slide work more, though. The sound quality is a definite improvement over his second album, which I thought put the drums and bass too much in the background. I guess we have the legendary Eddie Kramer to thank for that, although how hard can it be to get a good mix between three instruments?--Hello! Anyway, good job on this album.
Is the review positive or negative?
