5.0 out of 5 stars The Past, Present and Future of R&B, October 8, 1999

The best new blues album I've heard in years! This is what blues lovers have been waiting for. A new giant talent to turn the world on for the millenium, like Stevie Ray Vaugn in the 80's. Listen carefully and you'll hear the progression of R&B from the earliest vinyl out of the Delta to the sound of blues and soul in decades to come. Murali Coryell (the son of famous jazz guitarist Lary Coryell) has it all. I'll match his voice with anyone and his guitar playing's right up there with Stevie Ray and Buddy Guy. If you're into the blues, you MUST get this CD. If you're into soul, check out "Sexual Healing," Murali's cover of the Marvin Gaye classic. No hit or miss tracks here, they all pay off. This is one new artist that totally delivers your money's worth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Murali Coryell is genuine, August 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: 2120 (Audio CD)

I had the extreme pleasure and privelege of attending week-long blues/R&B classes with Murali Coryell for the past two summers at the National Guitar Workshop in New Milford, Connecticut. I got the chance to first get to know Murali as a friendly, nice, genuine person with a love for music and an eagerness to give his music to other people. Then I bought his 2120 album and slowly realized that in addition to being a great person, Murali is a great musician in all regards. His singing, guitar playing, and songwriting have a rare honesty, integrity, and strong emotion not seen in music today... he's a true bastion of real soul and blues music, right up there with any of the greats.

I strongly recommend this great CD if you're looking for honestly emotional music. Showcasing Murali's agressive guitar playing and powerful voice equally, this recording masterfully evokes the same emotion of that of any other great blues artist, and will restore your faith in genuine, uncompromised soul music.

If you get the chance, try to see Murali live, where he excels even further, and try to find his earlier 1995 debut, Eyes Wide Open. Look out for Murali Coryell, he IS a great musician on the rise, and we'll definitely be seeing more of him in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Murali Coryell - 2120, December 9, 1999

I saw Murali play at a club down in Greenwich Village and was blown away! His great guitar tone and soulful voice coupled with Bill Foster's driving bass lines and Rod Gross' tight drumwork kept my undivided attention the whole night. Nice job especially on the cover of Marvin Gaye's classic "Sexual Healing". I got the record and it's as good as their live show! Having always been partial to the stories the blues have to offer, I'm happy to see the Chess family back in the record business with Murali. Hope to see him play again soon!
