Review
I'm glad that Musicmaker and Cello collaborated on this
effort to let the world know Guitar Gabriel's talents,
and they are wonderful. This guy can play, sing and
most of all, feel the blues. Mark Levinson spent some
time remastering this great album using Cello's super
audiophile technique to enhance the blues element of
this masterpiece. The marketing of this series is good
as well. You can find it at almost all mainstream music
stores. Compare this album with John Campbell's Tyler,
Texas Session, it's similar but completely different.
Campbell can sing and play the blues, but Gabe definitely
feels the blues like no one has. This is about the feeling
and sentimentality of the blues, not merely playing
it. So kids like Jonny Lang and Mike Welch need to listen
to this for guidance. The best song on this already
fantastic CD is "Old Fashioned Love." This song makes
me believe again in old-fashioned love. Gabe left the
world in 1996. His voice and talents should be remembered.
