USA guitarist, singer and author Don Hoffman isn’t a new kid in town if we speak about blues, cos’ mentioned genre was around his interesting fields during the years. But, on the blues scene he is a newer artist, even his performing experience confirm quite different things.
His album “Unfinished Business”, released with band behind , with 10 authors tracks in, has introduced him as a skillful guitarist, certain vocalist, and convinceble author. His music is something between contemporary blues, and texas influental old school approach , with standard mid-seventies bluesy emotions too. He has offered a pretty listenable material, with strong arrangment works, and valid-modern production as well. All of presented songs deserve repeatable playings, and there’s evident that “Unfiinished Business” is strong product, and ticket for high-class blues society as well.
USA gitarista i pevač Don Hoffman nije nova faca u gradu, ako govorimo o blues nasleđu na tamošnjoj teritoriji, jer je pomenuta žanrovska forma oduvek bila deo njegovog bića. Ali ako je reč o današnjoj blues sceni, on predstavlja uslovno rečeno novo ime, kojem put dokazivanja i afirmacije tek sledi.
Album “Unfinished Business” realizovao je sa bendom u pozadini, a na CD-u koji je urađen i objavljen u sopstvenoj režiji našlo se 10 autorskih pesama. Sama muzika je negde između savremenog bluesa, i onog starije teksaške škole, a prisutan je i jedan rekao bih emotivni “šmek”, kojeg je blues iznedrio tokom 70-tih godina prošlog veka. Pesme su vrlo melodične i slušljive, aranžmani su sjajni i snažni, a produkcija moderna i ubedljiva, što samo po sebi dovoljno govori o iskustvu gitariste. Kompletan materijal takođe zavređuje česta presušavanja, a pretpostavjam da i niste toliki fan bluesa, nijednog momenta vam songovi neće zvučati “dosadno”.
“Unfinished Blues” je vrlo ubedljivo ostvarenje, a za gospodina Hoffmana ulaznica za visoko društvo unutar savremene blues priče.
