Music Review: Bob Brozman - Post Industrial Blues - Page 3

Now you can't be a serious political type all the time and Bob's no exception. "Shafafa" is about the quest to be served real food today. "I want a mom and pop restaurant, that's what I want," he sings, knowing that his options these days don't include much without an INC. or LTD. after the name. It's a funny take on a situation that's not very funny; food that's so artificial that you can't even call it by it's real name. (When was the last time you saw a milk shake in a fast food joint – most of them are now shakes as the closest they get to a cow is the burger that gets stuffed in a bag with it)

Bob Brozman's Post Industrial Blues sees Bob returning to North America to play some fantastic bBlues music on a recording that utilizes instruments from around the world and from different eras in history to make a thoroughly contemporary CD. To me that's the sign of an exemplary musician and gifted artist. To be able to draw upon different cultural influences and the past, and without imitating or appropriating them, incorporating them into a vision that is unique is what every artist should be striving to accomplish. You need look no further then Bob Brozman for an example of this in action.
