Bob Margolin is not exactly unknown in the blues world, but it just might surprise even long-time admirers just how raw, nasty, and day-back the Blues Around the World release is. The first track doesn't just come tearing out of your speakers, it rips up the housing and shreds that fancy cloth-covering you liked because it matched the sofa, spitting tobacco and swigging a brew as it does. Too late for worries about furniture, though, bub, 'cause we're just getting started. Mike Sponza, an Italian musician and long-term fan of Margolin's work, invited Bob to accompany him and the band on a 10 show European tour, and the result was so good that the pair decided to hit the studio and break out a disc before Margolin headed back stateside. This is that progeny. - acousticmusic.com
