Soulful Hang by Rick Lollar
With his debut release, Soulful Hang EP, Atlanta-based guitarist, singer, and songwriter Rick Lollar displays a heart that's always belonged to the blues, the intellect of a jazz improviser, and a penchant for rootsy songwriting with tight arrangements, but he really just wants to make you dance. The EP's five original tracks (and one muscular arrangement of a Son House tune) cover a lot of stylistic ground--taut funk grooves, minor-key balladry, Memphis soul, unabashed rocking out--but it's clear that Lollar views it all through the lens of the blues.
