Ric E. Bluez sings like the boy next door, but he has a golden tone, a quality we associate with stars like Bobby Rush, who
started out with that golden tone before he added all the other things that make him great.
Ric E. Bluez sings like the boy next door, but he has a golden tone, a quality we associate with stars like Bobby Rush, who started out with that golden tone before he added all the other things that make him great. It's a peculiarity of the voice, a charisma, a pull on the human DNA that controls human curiosity.
Raw? Sure. Young and green? Without a doubt.
Heiki Suosalo of "Soul Express," in one of the few reviews to notice the release of Sexy Soul, Ric E. Bluez' debut album, wrote: "As a vocalist, Ric possesses a boyish tenor, not a very strong one."
I respectfully disagree, but that may be because I've heard his music on the radio more than my northern European colleague. Technically, Bluez can lapse into embarrassing, one-dimensional flattening of his notes, a step away from common speech.
But he's also capable of swinging through stanzas, conveying a broad range of feeling and emotive power with complete transparency. Technically speaking, he's got the chops to turn the head of any fellow performer.
Ric E. Bluez songs were popular in the Delta from late 2006 through 2007 (the year of the album's release) on into mid-2008.
During that time span, I heard a succession of Bluez songs that dug their way into my psyche, so much so that I remember the sequence in which they were delivered.
