George Benson, Weekend In London. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Intimacy in 2020 has become a largely forgettable experience. Unless you have been fortunate to escape the storm that has knocked the world of its side and the arrogant hubris pulled from within, like the string that controls the string that drives the recorded voice on a child’s toy, the intimate has become one of gestures, of silent nods and reciprocated waving of hands, a relegated sense of emptiness has befallen us all and there is little sign of anything physical that may change that.

George Benson, Walking To New Orleans. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

You might get to The Big Easy quicker if you took the train from Pittsburgh and took a long leisurely cross country route seeing the sights along the way, nestling in the appetite of music that made the country reflect on its love, its loss and its swing; you could do that journey and be grateful but sometimes Walking To New Orleans from wherever you happen to be at the time is more enjoyable, educational and understanding if seen from the view point of the grace of striding with purpose towards your ultimate goal.
