One more voice that stands up against injustice. In the 27 album of his career, Ronnie Earl makes clear his position in front of the unpunished and still persistent abuse of the black population in the country. Recorded in his home-studio with the addition of some songs live at Daryl's House Club in New York, "Rise Up" contains more Broadcasters than ever and Earl's stratocaster reaches heights of lucidity that leave us with some of the best solos that he has recorded since the late 70's when he started with Sugar Ray and The Roomful Of Blues as well as with the release "Smokin '" the first album by his own. Born Ronald Horvath in 1953 in NYC, Earl has turned his elegant, clean and tremendously effective playing style into a reference for any guitarist who wants to play blues music from the roots and with the soul. 13th album with Canadian Stony Plain Records and we hope more to come. Exceptional work of creative and interpretive maturity.
