WHEN the young lads of London took to playing the blues in the late '50s and early '60s one of the qualities that few could capture was the music's swing. Instead they made it rock, and blues-rock was born. But that elusive and crucial swing component helped make electric blues emotionally ambiguous.
Generations of subsequent guitarists have spent too much time listening to Clapton, Beck, Page and the rest, rather than their precursors. Not Ray Beadle. The brilliant Sydney guitarist, who had to turn to truck-driving to support his family, is back doing what he does best: making the blues swing and spark, and launching a CD called Spellbound. There is something delightfully unassuming about Beadle's virtuosity, which has less aggression and grandstanding than is routine. He improvises solos that sizzle with invention and surprise, underpinned by this relaxed, loping sense of rhythm. The combination marks him as one of the finest blues guitarists Australia has produced.
