Crítica / Review: La Hora del Blues (Barcelona)
http://www.lahoradelblues.com/criticas.htm
De Ferre gives us an album with twelve own songs, all them inspired in Blind Lemon Jefferson, Blind Wilie Johnson, Skip James or Robert Johnson. De Ferre sings and plays guitar using the fingerpickin' style that comes from the eastern United States, especially from North and South Carolina, Georgia, Atlanta, the Appalachian Mountains and Virginia. He also plays Hawaiian guitar, dobro with bottleneck and lap steel guitar. In this album he is backed by a couple of musicians, Manu on double bass and Bello on percussion. De Ferre has a very personal and sometimes quite rude sound, always betting for a restrained style and even with a good dose of that special sadness and the hypnotic rhythms of old pre-war blues. In fact De Ferre could have done the whole recording alone to enhance the patterns of deep old blues but, as I said before, this time he has decided to include two backing musicians to enhance his musical speech. Both support de Ferre’s work with an efficient playing and good disposition. VERY GOOD.
