Terry Robb, Resting Place


By Ian Zack

It’s the rare guitarist who can whip off a killer 12-bar blues solo, then turn around and fingerpick Travis-style with speed and subtlety. Yet Portland, Oregon, guitarist and singer Terry Robb does just that—on amplified acoustic, no less—on Resting Place, his first CD for Yellow Dog Records. Robb serves up a tasty picnic of blues guitar styles, moving effortlessly from Memphis to Chicago to North Carolina. On Arthur Crudup’s “My Baby Left Me,” he picks like Scotty Moore on hyperdrive—and adds just the right amount of Elvis to his throaty vocal. He turns Reverend Gary Davis’ “Hesitation Blues” into a fingerpicking tour de force and pulls out a slide for the title track, a funky bottleneck instrumental. Robb, a sought-after session man who has recently started releasing more of his own material, may occasionally overreach his vocal range, as on Percy Mayfield’s testifying blues “My Mind Is Trying to Leave Me,” but this is a minor quibble about an otherwise very satisfying set.
