Review By Halina Wegner
Country icon Sammy Kershaw embarks on a soul-stirring journey into the heart of blues with his latest studio album, “Cross Road Blues.” Set to release on May 31, this album serves as a homage to the timeless allure of blues music, seamlessly blending traditional blues elements with Kershaw’s signature country charm.
With nearly four decades of experience under his belt, Kershaw showcases his unparalleled vocal prowess and gift for interpretation on “Cross Road Blues.” From the haunting melodies of Robert Johnson to the fiery riffs of Albert King, Kershaw’s masterful reinterpretations breathe new life into classic blues classics, offering listeners a fresh perspective on the genre.
Produced by rockabilly guitar icon Danny B. Harvey, the album takes listeners on a sonic journey through the intersection of blues and country music. One of the standout tracks, a blistering cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Oh Well (Part 1),” showcases Kershaw and Harvey’s ability to infuse the Peter Green-era gem with a rockabilly stomp that is both exhilarating and authentic.
For fans of blues and country alike, “Cross Road Blues” is a must-listen. Whether you’re a die-hard blues aficionado or a casual listener, this album promises to strike a chord with audiences of all ages. With its infectious melodies, soulful vocals, and irresistible charm, “Cross Road Blues” is a testament to the enduring power of music to transcend genres and bring people together.
