Rory Block - Rory Block
Review by Iris C. Permuy
Rory Block's self-titled album is a beautiful showcase of her talents as both a singer and guitarist. The album is a mix of original compositions and covers that highlight her bluesy voice and impressive fingerpicking skills.
The opening track, "A Woman Needs to Be Strong," sets the tone for the album with its empowering lyrics and driving rhythm. Block's cover of Robert Johnson's "Traveling Riverside Blues" is a standout track, showcasing her ability to interpret classic blues songs with her own style.
The album also includes a few softer moments, such as the heartfelt ballad "Let It Go," which showcases Block's vulnerable side. The album closes with "Gone Woman Blues," a song that features Block's powerful vocals and intricate guitar work.
