Erja Lyytinen may not be the most technically skilled guitarist of her generation, but she is undoubtedly the most energetic, stylistic and forceful blueswoman of all of them. Of course, she handles the bottleneck like no other. Fierce on stage and superior in the studio, this woman composes songs from deep within, she externalizes her personality as a musician in each riff, in each solo, her vocal power transmits an impeccable strength that contaminates her presence with truthfulness and empathy with the listener. What more could you ask for from a blues musician? Erja Lyytinen has it. Sincerity and respect, total dedication in each performance, ability to channel emotions placing emphasis on each chord as if the rest of the score depended on it. This woman has the blues in rock structures, from Hendrix to Jeff Beck, but also Elmore James in twelve bars, the omnipresent slide guitar to provoke a unique sound and a whirlwind of emotion and commotion that can leave you stunned. From Finland a sweet empowered woman.
