The arrival of Bob Lanza’s “Time to Let Go” (his fourth studio effort by the way) may not stir excitement with the casual music enthusiast, but blues fans worldwide are unlikely to gripe.
Blues is the backbone, but this album seldom sounds weary or autopiloted. On “When the Sun Comes Up”, twittering guitar melds with a jumpy funk bassline. Indeed, the most memorable moments are those that step outside the archetype, such as the rusty shuffling of “Johnny Smith” and the overly conformist boogie-ness of “You’re Not in Texas”.
Still, Lanza proves he’s a strong songwriter – when he makes the effort – and a fruity guitarist. Pleasingly intense, Freddie King influences are rife, particularly with numbers like “Your Turn to Cry”. Lanza’s vocal harmonies are smooth, and lyrics to the point, and the production frames a gutsy, deeply impassioned display of blues know-how. Meanwhile, songs like the playful opener “Mind Your Own Business” show keen wit along with fruits of hard earned experience.
