Campbell, Theresa Williams, Amy Helm and the crew from Levon’s Barn at Woodstock; Produced by Larry Campbell
Title: Only Slightly Mad
Review: Bromberg continues his unlikely musical comeback with another wide ranging, genre-bending album reminiscent of his work from the 70s. Got to see him with his touring band in Vermont last year and it was top notch. He remains a fascinating guitar player and interesting singer- always surrounded by the best musicians and bringing his eclectic brand of covers and songwriting to the fore. Predictably, this outing has Chicago blues, Irish Jigs, major R&B, country blues…and everything in between. He is an undervalued gem.
