After the beautiful 'Wild' in late 2016 (see here), 2019 sees the American 'Joanne Shaw Taylor' release a new album 'Reckless Heart'. With this latest opus, she continues in the path of the previous one and she invested herself in writing almost all 11 titles. So we find this authentic blues-rock, declined in all its forms, with always this voice that transmits a real emotion as in the compositions that smell a sensual blues-rock like the title track of the album or 'I've Only Lonely' or 'I've Been Loving You Too Long'. 'Reckless Heart' is certainly more optimistic with energetic titles and this since the introduction with 'In the Mood' where Joanne is having a great time with a guitar solo with accents much more rock than blues. With compositions like the energetic 'Bad Love' and her masterful guitar solo, 'Creepin' and reminiscence of 70s hard rock bands, or 'All My Love' with her catchy guitar playing, she shows the extent of his talent and the acoustic titles 'Break My Heart Anyway' and especially the last very nude 'Jake's Boogie' in a very contemporary blues, acoustic guitar / voice, confirms that she has this gift to be able to adapt to any style. In summary, 'Joanne Shaw Taylor' released a new album even more varied than the previous ones and, even if she stays faithful to its blues roots, demonstrates in the best way that it has the ability to tackle all styles like a certain 'Joe Bonamassa' has already showed many times... | |
