Product Description
From Amazon.com
On Healing Time, the line Ronnie Earl blurs between jazz and blues gets even blurrier than on his 1997 record, The Colour Of Love. An all-instrumental record of deep passion and virtuosity, Time features song structures that are loose and laden with thoughtful riffs and solid work from Earl and his players, recalling Carlos Santana's fiery licks and the jazz guitar textures of Wes Montgomery. Their attention to each song's changes and transitions makes for vivid textures and wide-ranging moods, while varying the instrumental focal points of each allows the musicians to reveal the songs' emotional cores. Jumping out of the gate with "Churchin'," the record is given a gospel tinge by Jimmy McGriff's Hammond B-3 that pops up again later on "Blues on a Sunday." Throughout, on songs like "Thembi," with its piano-based breeziness, and "Idle Moments," with Earl's mournful guitar work, it's clear that Earl and his band have worked hard to provide these songs with whatever touch of instrumentation or genre-bending they might need to sound complete. By letting his insightful musicality guide him, and allowing each song to blossom with individuality, Earl creates an endlessly fascinating record that fairly brims with the light of inspiration. --Matthew Cooke

Something for everyone,
By Maxmike (West Chester, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Healing Time (Audio CD)
Not being much of a blues man, I had never heard of Ronnie Earl. This album has quickly become one of my favorites. It is a soulful mix of blues, jazz and rock that anyone will enjoy. The album comes at you hard with the first track "Churchin" and then soulfully but not boringly mellows out. Earl's work on the slower tracks is absolutely searing in intensity. I love this one!

Soaring new work from a master axman,
By A Customer
This review is from: Healing Time (Audio CD)
I had the pleasure of seeing Ronnie Earl play here on his Boston area home turf last Spring. It was a revelation..especially for someone who remembers his old "Roomful of Blues" days. This album captures his current direction well. It's not the blues as the old-guard would play it; it's something else entirely, a soaring display of technical skill and musical talent that is quite rare indeed. Great music.
