5.0 out of 5 stars Five Star Roy Rogers, June 1, 2000

This review is from: Everybody's Angel (Audio CD)

Here is a surprise pairing: Roy Rogers, one of the greatest slide guitarists in the world, John Lee Hooker producer and sometime band member, and Shana Morrison, Van Morrison's daughter and new emerging songwriter talent. Together they have released an excellent album. Sassy-voiced Shana's jazzy blues delivery and Roy's country-edged vocals work warmly together - and those arrangement, Wow! The darkly laid-back opening track 'Molly O & Dog Boy' with it's steel guitar touches and acoustic percussion leads you into an album which demonstrates the incredible versatility of Rogers' guitar and confirm what many know - that Roy is a superb producer. Previous albums from Roy can flay you alive with their slide riffs. Here he is never bludgeoning, never subservient, just scarily perfect in his discretion and appropriateness. Tight musicianship: drums and percussion from Jimmy Sanchez, accordion and keyboards from Phil Aalberg, bass from Scoop McGuire, Dana Pandey's tabla and Robert Powell's pedal steel, underpin a great collection of songs and a must-have album. What can I say? It's so good I bought it twice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Just the Daughter Of, August 31, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Everybody's Angel (Audio CD)

Shana Morrison's debut album, 'Caledonia' was a remarkable first effort, but she just topped herself with 'Everybody's Angel', proving Shana is not coasting on the famous Morrison heritage. The dynamic pairing of Roy Rogers and Ms. Morrison not only works, but keeps the listener riveted, from the oddly dark 'Molly O & Dog Boy', to the upbeat 'Joey'. Roy's amazing slide techinque plays off Shana's bluesy delivery. This is one CD you need for the car and home. Can't stop listening!
