Eric Lindell

The first, of hopefully many, singles to be released from this CD is “Lay Back Down.” Lindell’s easy flowing passionate voice is accentuated by a smooth guitar that underlies the vocals exactly enough to not be overpowering. The song is one of eleven songs written by Lindell, and is lyrically the best here with depth that others lack. His vocal abilities more than make up for this, however.

Lindells’ music is a throwback, with deep roots to blues, soul, and R & B. These roots shine through with “Mind Your Business,” which is a rich ‘60s groove complete with masterful horns. Lindell also provides a ‘50s feel with “Tried and True.” It is the supporting instrumentals that enable the vocals to add enough originality and passion to make it his own.

The supporting musicians shine throughout the CD. Blake Nolte, on sax, does a masterful job on the title cut, plus the slower hip grinder “It’s You.” Aaron Wilkinson, on bass, adds quality depth, particularly in support of Lindell’s guitar in “It’s My Pleasure.” Chris Plyant on drums, Mark Adams on piano and organ, and Chris Mule also on guitar, all provide essential instrumentals behind Lindell’s captivating vocals.

Low On Cash, Rich In Love is a foot stomping success. When Lindell is allowed to carry a song with his rousing vocal talents, enhanced with just enough groove by his terrific band, the music is timeless.

John resides in the heartland of the US, in the great state of Indiana. An IU alum, John enjoys a variety of music genres, but prefers artists who write their own music and deliver it with passion. When not writing about his music addiction, John can be seen out spreading his love of music by singing in a band with his wife Stephanie.
