Bob Margolin - In North Carolina

Review by Ahmed Mosly

In North Carolina by Bob Margolin is a delightful blues album that showcases the veteran guitarist's soulful playing and heartfelt songwriting. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers that pay tribute to Margolin's blues heroes, including Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Jimmy Reed.

The album's opening track, "My Road," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its driving rhythm and Margolin's gritty vocals. The album's standout track, "Blues Lover," is a slow-burning ballad that showcases Margolin's emotive guitar playing and his ability to convey deep emotion through his music.

In North Carolina also features a number of guest musicians, including Warren Haynes, who contributes his signature slide guitar to the blues classic "Rollin' and Tumblin'." Other standout tracks on the album include "More and More," a rollicking boogie-woogie number, and "Goodnight," a haunting ballad that showcases Margolin's soulful vocals.
