Troy Redfern - Dirty Blues Ritual

This is Troy’s 2nd album, and quite frankly it’s sooo good it’s a wonder it doesn’t spontaneously combust. This is 15 original tracks, coming in at around 55 minutes, but it only takes 30 seconds to give you goosebumps and that’s just the ululations of the brief, opening instrumental Revelator. Then Troy kicks in with Dick Dale-like surf Blues, The Brave which leads into a slice of Rockabilly; Jelly Roll, that would grace The Stray Cats. Guitar-heads would probably nod in silent approval that for this attack, and most of the album, Troy played a ‘58 Stratone through a ‘70s pignose amp: all I can say is that it brings a sort of ferocity of style I haven’t heard since the likes of Link Wray.
I See Love, slows the pace down, but it’s a slow, twangy-riffed monster on the Resonator; apparently, Troy used an old trick of Lee Hazelwood’s and tracked some guitar parts in an old WWII water tower to boost the reverb (when recording Duane Eddy, Hazelwood put a speaker and a mic at either end of a silo and paid a lad 50c per hour to stop birds resting on it during recording sessions). And to give the vocals that distorted feel, using combination of U87 & Shure Green Bullet harmonica mics. Cold light of Day is a frantic slide fiff-fest while Ray Gun is a fast twanger. The Line is a steady, Country-ish number. Ain’t No Judgement Day has the more Delta; rootsy feel that builds to a driving tempo leading to the monster that is Sign Of The Times that has distorted slide to die for. Giving what’s the only quiet space on the album since the opener, On The Skin shows Troy really pulling the hearstrings on the Resonator.
Take the most of the quiet break because My Time Ain’t Long and Time’s Gonna Wash You Away are a pair of full-tilt slide rockers and Shine Your Light takes no prisoners either. Born To Lose and Walls Are Falling may be slightly slower, but they’re no less intense.
And here’s something else no less impressive; ALL the instruments are played by Troy, with the majority of the solos done one take. In fact Troy also handles the recording, mixing and production himself. It doesn’t take a trained ear to pick out all the production no-no’s but any sort of polish and the effect of the album would be lost; it’s this raw craftsmanship combined paradoxically with Troy’s superb ear for tone that really sets this album aside. That, and with the songs being around the 4 minute mark, the album has a well-balanced, concise construction. And done without the help or hindrance of a label? As I said, keep this away from any flammable material…...
