Back in 2005,
The Loose Acoustic Trio surprised us with a new and fresh sound
in the world of Cajun, folk, jug & blues music. Their "Brand
New Mind" album was so inspiring that we genuinely asked ourselves
if the follow up would sprout the same qualities. Well be relieved! "Sorrow
Be Gone" preaches
again the message we already heard on "Brand New Mind". Richie
Lawrence, Ken Cooper, and Steve O' Neill are still capable of creating
the tunes and sounds that make us love these guys. “Rise and
Shine” is
the ideal catchphrase to start the day, but tunes like "For a
While", "Gone
Too Long", "Love Me Love You" (Joe Craven on fiddle & Washboard
Chaz Leary), "Pinball
Wizard" (Peter Townsend!) and "Johnny Appleseed" (Paul
Lacques on Jews harp) make my day.
"Soup on a Bun", again with Joe Craven on fiddle, and
title track "Sorrow Be Gone" are lecturing the same friendly,
tasteful sermon as the ones before, but who cares, it just can’t
be better! Put this album on your Ipod, find your raincoat and go
hiking for the day! No need for vitamins and extra nutritional values
as long as you have these tunes on. The world is bright and sunny! "…Music
fills the air, let the sunshine in!" ("Me & You",
Rita Hosking, vocals). Buy this album & spread the news, The
Loose Acoustic Trio is back with fifteen terrific songs. The band
passes with grade A and brings with “Sorrow Be Gone” the ideal soundtrack for a better
world!
