Craig Erickson - 2010 - New Earth Blues [VBR]

"New Earth Blues", the awesome ninth solo disc by this amazing, gifted blues/rock axemaster from Iowa, features 13 tracks (67 minutes) of outstanding, remarkably deep, dynamic, soul-powered, retro-70s, bluesy heavy guitar grooves that truly deliver on a world-class level. An impressive six-string display of exceptional blues-based power trio riffage with a strong message about the world around us. Craig Erickson is an incredible, underated guitarist who's musical talents are right up there with the best of them. Erickson has created his own trademark style/vibe and voice on the guitar with all the right influences & inspirations as he speaks volumes through his instrument.

Craig Erickson, Rob Lamothe & The Voodoo Brothers - 2003 - Ride [320]

Rob Lamothe and Craig Erickson reunite for the follow-up to 2001’s ‘Shine’, no longer flying the banner of the Craig Erickson Project. This time around, with Lamothe’s Voodoo Brothers band in tow and a fresh batch of Erickson originals in hand, the group made tracks for Canada and laid tracks in Rob’s home turf of Hamilton, Ontario. This is how rock should sound – huge, dynamic and live. This may not be a live album, but it’s pretty damn close. We have it on good authority that the band simply set up shop, plugged in and let fly with some serious rock grooves. “Deep River” is a swift kick in the pants, opening the album with aplomb. Craig gives his Wah-wah pedal quite a workout on “Deep River” and “Connection”, and lays down one of his most inspired solos ever on “Which Way to Go”. It has to be noted that this album contains something indefinable that ‘Shine’ somehow lacked. The songs here are rock solid, and the performances nothing short of brilliant.
