Dion - Tank Full Of Blues mp3 download

Eigeni

The album jacket says it all ... Dion, who’s been recording for over fifty-five years, thirty plus studio releases under his belt, and the man is still rolling on and on and on. Taking his cue from his sensational Bronx In Blue album, and the third in his blues trilogy, Dion dives even deeper. This time with nearly all the songs being penned by this magic man, a man who’s standing tall with the wind at his back, laying out more guitar perfection than I thought possible, with each note being delivered as if it were more important than the last, inching out songs filled with passion and clear crisp insightful lyrics that channel the ghost of Robert Johnson, and all the while pointing a finger at anyone who’s ever recorded a walking blues line, saying, “Yeah, but can you do it like this?” Just cue up “Two Tain” or “You Keep Me Cryin” and you’ll hear what I mean.One can instantly draw comparisons to what Dylan did on Modern Times, or Love & Theft, where his Bob-ness finally acknowledges all that sparked him on, turning him into a musical elder statesmen. Having said that, any of these sly tight songs filled with harmonies could have been recorded deep in the past, but there’s no romancing for by gone eras here, nor are the songs hazed with sepia tones, they’re powerful, combustable, and hint at chords stretching back to Dion’s youth, and what made him an instant sensation. But it’s here on these blistering illuminations that Dion finally becomes an elder statesmen, showing off an updated version of his musical historical past.The final track is a bit pretentious, but I can easily forgive him for that, and there’s always the delete button. Tank Full Of Blues is a celebration of life and all that causes you to strut your stuff.Review by Jenell Kesler
