Title: It just gets better while you listen
Review: About 35 years ago I made my first pilgrimage to Chicago in part to hook up with my first love and more importantly to hear the blues up close and personal. I tried to hear Arvella on Maxwell Street, but despite what it said in The Reader, he wasn't playing that one day I had set aside to try and catch him. Although the first love petered out, the true love is still there, and I recently came across this cd. Admittedly after the first track made me think that I had stumbled onto the wrong Blind Arvella Gray, the cd just picked up from there--the songs get more bluesy, the slide work more gutsy, and the experience made me glad that this lifetime gave me enough days to finally hear Arvella sing.
Is the review positive or negative?
