CD Review: LIVE NOW
Fans of National steel guitar virtuoso Bob Brozman have been demanding a live album for years, and Live Now, culled from various shows in the U.S. and Australia, doesn't disappoint. The title's Zen-inspired double meaning is no accident. Brozman proves himself a veritable force of nature with a glass slide, eliciting through total mastery and intense concentration a mind-boggling array of sounds and timbres from his instruments. He has always been rooted in blues, but his ever-widening palette now includes Hawaiian, calypso, old jazz, classical, Indian slide, and even German oompah, and he borrows and mixes freely. Still, tunes like the magnificent Skip James-like "So Sad Blues" will satisfy traditionalists. Live Now is a portrait of a man in love with music and in the full throes of his passion.
