PETE CORNELIUS – GROUNDSWELL

PETE CORNELIUS – GROUNDSWELL

Ever felt like you drink too much, are treated too hard by your ex and are unlucky in love? Sometimes you just have to start singing the blues.

Groundswell is a slick album, very easy to listen to with some classic lyrics about how hard life can be, yet it doesn’t come across as self-sympathetic. Cornelius plays some reasonable guitar licks but he’s no B.B. King and his voice isn’t strong enough to carry off an authentic blues sound.

There is just something about the guitar sound that doesn’t work, like it’s coming through a tiny digital amplifier. This album isn’t what it could have been. (LC)
