Product Information
Speaking of David Bromberg, the master of roots music traveled to Woodstock this past spring to cut a new record in the late Levon Helm’s studio, enlisting Larry Campbell, who helmed (oh, bad pun) Levon’s three Grammy-winning albums, as producer and additional guitarist. In contrast to his 2011 release, Use Me, which featured David performing with (and often produced by) Dr. John, Widespread Panic, John Hiatt, Los Lobos and other stars, he merged his own touring musicians with members of Levon’s group and daughter Amy Helm, of the band Ollabelle, with guest appearances John Sebastian on harmonica and banjoist John McEuen (founder member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band), for the Woodstock sessions to create the David Bromberg Band’s Only Slightly Mad.
As you’d expect, the new CD is stuffed with songs steeped in Americana – modern and traditional folk, blues, bluegrass, gospel, even a bit of a cappella. On new originals and classic covers, David’s distinctive vocals ring out confidently and his world-class skills as electric, slide, and acoustic guitarist and mandolinist are fully on display without overpowering the material. It’s a particular treat to hear the guitar interplay between David and Larry Campbell, both of whom have worked frequently with Bob Dylan. This is a band effort.

Rezensionen
,,Zwölf Hochkaräter sind versammelt und Ausfälle nicht zu beklagen." (Good Times, Februar / März 2014)
,,Brillant musizierter Slide-Blues von Blind Willie Johnson findet genauso Platz wie der Floyd-Cramer-Ohrwurm ,,Last Date" mit Pedal Steel als Country-Ballade in Conway Twittys Vokalfassung. (...) Absolute Delikatesse ist auch der Alberta-Hunter-Blues von 1921 mit wundervollem Bläser-Arrangement: meisterlich!" (Stereo, März 2014)
