Eric Sardinas is a true master of the slide guitar. He is one of the best blues slide players currently recording. His new album, Sticks & Stones stays within bounds from what his fans want from him. This is a collection of mostly upbeat, blues-rock guitar wailing tunes that are best played at 11. Eric, at times, evokes the spirit of another great slide player from yesteryear, Irish axe-slinger Rory Gallagher. Sardinas has the same obvious passion for music and the talent to go along with it. “Full Tilt Mama” and “Ratchet Blues” will make any fan of Gallagher smile in appreciation as Sardinas is keeping the same spirit alive.
There is not a bad tune on this disc. Some songs will make you think, such as “Too Many Ghosts” while others are just plain fun ala “Cherry Wine.” All of these tracks promise to be even better live in concert making one wonder if this tour should be recorded for a live DVD/CD, hmm, damn good idea!
