A helping of country-flavored blues, Cajun, soul and gospel
British guitarist George Breakfast’s soulful sound wouldn’t be particularly out-of-place in Muscle Shoals, Austin or even underground Nashville. There’s a raspy Americana edge to his voice, and a gospel-inflected strut to of his songs that suggest everything from light ’70s country to Little Feat inspired funk and Commander Cody-styled jump blues. The vocals are charmingly rough in spots, but the backing musicians are fluid and tight, and the melodies and lyrics are insinuating. Anyone looking to rekindle the 1970’s warm infusion of country, blues, R&B, Cajun, soul, funk and gospel will enjoy this one. [©2013 Hyperbolium]
