Bob Angell - Supernal Blues

The fifteen big cuts on the new Supernal Blues CD were recorded in Newport, Rhode Island at Stable Sound Studio and in Memphis at the legendary Sun Studio. And they run the gamut from delicate acoustic tunes and blistering electric guitar sorties to stomping goodtime rockers. And the high-flying lyrics are as entertaining as they are deep. (Just wait until you hear “Drinkin’ Shoes.”) But they’re all the straight nach’l blues.

Whether you prefer your blues with Southside swagger or London aggression, with a dash of Memphis spice or big city swing, you’re bound to find it here, and in spades.

The album has been well received by DJs, has had a lot of pre-release airplay and was in the Independent Blues Broadcasters Association's Top 40 playlist for May 2020

Review Quotes

"This is as good as it gets. This has everything, a stunning release"  Colin Campbell, Blues Matters! magazine, issue 115 

 A conversation bewteen Bob Williams, Blues DJ, and listener George R Doyle:

BW: "It just absolutely replicates the tone and style of Clapton/Page together in the 60s. Well done to both you and Duke Robillard."

GRD: "I'd like to make a remark on your thoughts on Angell's Disc. Especially the Clapton/Page comparison. When I first heard this and a couple other cuts, I had the same thoughts, and was brought back to J. Mayall's BEANO era,....and not only with 'Immediate Blues'...but 'Drinking Shoes' will transport you back there as well!! Bob A. has tapped into something special here, and hope it gets the Airplay and Respect it deserves!! I think Hubert Sumlin was right when he stated He really is one of the best"

BW: "Agreed. I think that this is an exceptional album from a gifted guitarist who is to be admired for delving into the past for tone and style."
