A packed house at the Narrows Friday night were treated to the blues stylings of Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters.
Ronnie, in the photo above, looked almost scholarly as he played the electric guitar to standing ovations almost from riff number one.
Your humble blogger noticed something about Ronnie's playing that he hadn't noticed before: While he's a blues player, his choices within the blues are usually non-traditional, uniquely his own.
Any other thoughts about Ronnie's choices on the guitar?

I thought Ronnie played well overall, thought he held back some though and played it safe rather than taking some chances and playing on the edge. His tone overall was decent but didn't have the usual edgy, nasty(in a good way) quality to it that Ronnie's known for. I was expecting him to bring a vocalist also to give the songs some seperation rather than sounding like the same 3 grooves played over and over. The keyboards were great. I give the performance a 6 out of 10 fwiw. Good to see Ronnie out there playing!
