Cure For The Blues
Writer Steve Lemcke on Cure For The Blues, "Casual fans of guitar should be impressed; more studious six-string enthusiasts will be wowed, I'm sure. Reed, playing his heart out, is one of those bluesmen who's not afraid to throw in as many notes as possible into a single measure. Reed is such a master of the "lick" that he should be sponsored by an ice cream company." Featuring the instrumental tracks "Swing Fling", "Kiss Me" and "Joyride", the ten tracks on Cure For The Blues predominanly showcase the guitar and voice of Reed, who playing is equally at home in a roadside tavern as it is coming straight at'cha from your stereo speakers. Longer cuts such as "Why?" and the title track offer the space for improvisation and a deepening of the blues feeling so enthusiastically presented on the balance of the album.
