Moreland & Arbuckle make John Shelton Ivany List #317
Where blues can take many different forms, Moreland & Arbuckle decided to take all of them. Heavy distortion stolen from Delta blues, vocal inflections from country-blue influences, and structure from the rural blues origins. While combining genres is tricky, Moreland & Arbuckle make it work in a way that not only makes sense, but also seems far too logical to not have been readily exploited before now.
The pieces fit together like your family 300 piece jig-saw puzzle, and sounds much better than most of the pictures usually look. Singer Dustin Arbuckle's voice is certainly a little country, maybe even some hints of pop melody thrown in, and works well in the context. Moreland, in charge of the guitar playing, is superb at solid song structure, and doesn't really lack in any discernible field. This is certain to catch the attention of any avid blues listener. |
