Kenny Neal - 2001 - One Step Closer [256]

Authenticity will never be an issue with regard to Kenny Neal’s music. The oldest son of Baton Rouge mainstay Raful Neal, he was born to the blues. On One Step Closer, Kenny conjures up Louisiana’s rich, musical traditions and steers them in imaginative, new directions. Tackling a wider range of material than ever before, Neal manages to put his signature on all twelve songs. One Step Closer includes soulful renditions of Bob Dylan’s "Walk out in the Rain," Nick Lowe’s "High on a Hilltop," John Hiatt’s "Lover’s Will," and Colin Linden’s "Hidden in Plain Sight" and "Remedy." Not only is the guitarist/singer/harmonica player one of the most consistent talents in contemporary blues, Neal is also a seasoned songwriter.
