Description
Roadhouse", the new album by blues-rocker Marc Amacher, pulls the listener into that kind of cathartic environment, where all bets are off and rules are made to be broken. It's an explosive collection of 13 songs by a musician whose deep connection to blues tradition doesn't prevent him from pushing the boundaries of the genre. The album is a reflection of those very high standards, which he applies to himself as well as others. A blues-rock artist on the rise, Amacher has put every bit of himself into making this album – one that positively sizzles with the pure power of the blues.
Amacher is now back where he belongs: with an electric guitar in his hand and a kick-ass band behind him. When it came time to record a new album, Amacher knew he wanted to get away from the pop music glitz and do something raw and authentic, something that reflected his musical roots and down-to-earth attitude. That album is Roadhouse. The album title provides a clue as to where it was made: Amacher contacted several musicians who had shown a feel for the blues during the 8 Days sessions and arranged to record with them inside an abandoned restaurant close to where he grew up. After converting it into an ad hoc recording studio, the guitarist and his new bandmates banged out 17 songs in two days, 13 of which were chosen for the record. What resulted is in many regards a live album. Roadhouse is the sound of four musicians playing together and feeding off each other's energy. There are no tricks, no overdubs. Just four people pushing each other and creating powerful sounds at the crossroads of blues and rock.
Though Roadhouse revisits several titles he already recorded for 8 Days, the difference between the two albums is like day and night. -
