[Postcard2] Rob Ickes' Road Song

[Brad Bechtel]

The new CD by Rob Ickes (dobro player with Blue Highway), "Road Song",  
is a completely unexpected highlight of my musical year.  Rob plays  
resonator guitar, Michael Alvey plays piano, and Robinella sings on a  
few tracks.  They do a series of popular jazz tunes such as Song For  
My Father, West Coast Blues, Caravan, etc. (plus one Hank Williams  
tune, "You Win Again").

This is nothing remotely like bluegrass.  It's acoustic jazz, not  
string band stuff.  The dobro sounds remarkably fine on this CD.  One  
of my top ten of the year, no question.

I highly recommend it.  http://resorevolution.com/RoadSong.html for
