This review is from: The Guitar Artistry of David Bromberg: Demon in Disguise (DVD)

A man, his guitar, some songs, and a whole lotta technique, style and familiarity.

Bromberg plays his greatest songs on solo guitar, with explanations of their origins

and authors. These include Rev. Gary Davis, Bob Dylan, and a litany of titans that Bromberg either knew personally or studied under. It is a very personal, one-on-one relationship that he holds between us and his memory. Each piece he plays is flawlessly recorded and played for

you live. Audio quality is excellent at full bandwidth.

It is easy for a non-player to write this off, but, if you digest this, or play yourself, after a song or two you realize that you are being treated to a truly epic player in command performance. David's first hand experiences with the greatest folk, blues, gospel, musicians who ever lived are simply priceless.

This is a monumental reference work for any folk music lover, performed by an incredible talent, and a most humble man. The result is genuine, American, and enjoyable.

This review is from: The Guitar Artistry of David Bromberg: Demon in Disguise (DVD)

Most of this DVD shows just David Bromberg talking and playing guitar. Finally on track 31, "This Month" he is doing a blues number with one more person playing guitar and a story that struck me so hard, I want to spoil all the suspense of that song by dropping the ending on you cold. I was only aware of a few of the lost chops that David Bromberg fondly talks about rediscovering after spending 22 years in Chicago trying to identify every old violin, but you should be able to picture the kind of progress that he is capable of making when the first verse of a song is about:

The first time my baby quit me, this month . . .

it is all about him, but by the third verse, she told him clearly enough, so

On The Fourth Time my Baby quit me this month,

I was on to her jive.

I packed my things and moved back to the country.

I'm not going to wait around for number five.
