Have Guitar Will Travel
Traveling At The Speed Of Sound by Stephen Monroe

What would you get if you took some good, old-timin' delta blues and spiced it up with just a hint of jazz and uptempo blues, (and hell, I believe I even heard a little scat) and threw in a dash of nostalgia with a whole lot of modern production? That my friends, is the recipe for Stephen Monroe's CD release Traveling At The Speed Of Steve.


Stephen is old school blues - the guy who loads up the trunk with just his guitar and hundreds of copies of his CD and then hits the circuit, barnstorming watering spots and juke joints, sharing his life in song and drink, a buddy with which to drown your sorrows with or just hang. The music here is a wonderfully charming bit of mostly acoustic roots music with a groove somewhere between Delta Blues and Chicago Blues, though Stephen hails from neither Mississippi nor Chicago. With a minimalist approach to instrumentation (acoustic guitar, some hand claps, limited percussion ), the focus on each song is mostly on Monroe's lyrics and singing. It's mostly old-school to be sure ---- but there is a certain '60s sensibility at work here. A looseness of feel, perhaps, or a kind of a hippie vibe. Maybe it's just the sense of possibility arising from the loosening of any real stylistic restrictions: that the music can be whatever the listener wants it to be.

Standout tracks are Bluz Get Away, Waitin' For My Train, Sorry I Lost Control and Lovin' Man which has a edgy, rockabilly bite to it.
