Bay Area native Rigney has been playing violin for years in many genres including country, cajun / zydeco, and this, a mostly blues album. Rigney is the son of Bill Rigney, player and coach of the New York / San Francisco Giants. There’s some nice playing here. Flambeau consists of bass, drums, guitar and keys. Rigney plays some very solid violin. No FCC’s. *My Favorites*: 1, 4, 5, 7, 11, 12, 13. 1. *(2:45) Mid. Upbeat barroom bluesy, rollicking ride. Propelling piano, plodding beat with some nice violin breaks. 2. (4:41) Mid. INSTRUMENTAL. Rockin’ with organ, heavy drumbeat, guitar solo. Nice drum, piano interplay. 3. (4:23) Slow / Mid. INSTRUMENTAL. Mellow, heavy mood with cool violin, guitar interplay. Nice guitar work. 4. *(3:46) Mid. Upbeat, fun bluesy rocker. 5. *(4:26) Slow / Mid. INSTRUMENTAL. Downbeat mourner. Nice violin and guitar with a plodding beat. 6. (4:07) Mid. Title track. Catchy, poppy, easy-going bluesy song with backing vocals. 7. *(3:50) Mid. INSTRUMENTAL. Piano boogie with heavy beat. Really upbeat. Understated violin in the background. 8. (4:48) Slow. Bluesy mourner. Cool bass, percussion, 9. (4:33) Mid. Piano, drums propelling this ramblin’ bluesy, country tune. Violin takes it home. Some fine playing. 10. (5:36) Slow / Mid. INSTRUMENTAL. Some sweet violin here on a mellow groover with some cool harmonics. 11. *(5:20) Mid. Upbeat zydeco-influenced song with violin paving the way. Strong beat, good guitar, piano. 12. *(4:59) Mid. INSTRUMENTAL. Song for violin virtuoso Vassar Clements. Violin-led with plodding drum. Easy-going number with a very suave piano break. 13. *(4:32) Mid. INSTRUMENTAL. Cool jam with some great violin, guitar and piano. | ||
