Sandi Thom
Flesh and Blood
Sandi finds her sound - and it’s really good.
Move over punk rocker - Sandi Thom the blueswoman has landed, even if she’s still - by her own admission - “a big fucking hippie” who’d like to right the world’s wrongs. Yes, there’s a definite troubadour feel to much of her fourth studio album (not lease in The Sun Comes Crashing Down - a prayer for rain in an African village Sandi visited), but now it has country bluesy passion, under the production of Black Crowes guitarist Rich Robinson.We always knew Sandi would sing. What becomes apparent here, however, is that she can wail with soul, and that lends itself to raunchy olde-blues stomps (a cover of Sonny Boy Williamson II’s Help Me) just as happily as beautiful lovelorn numbers (ode to boyfriend Joe Bonamassa, Love You Like A Lunatic), through to the clav-alicious sassy groove-fest Stormy Weather.
You sense that there’s more to come from her in terms of songwriting, but if Flesh And Blood is anything to go by, this is something we can expect to really flourish from here on.
A very Strong Record.
