‘Down in The Alley’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. Since Steady Rollin’ Bob Margolin last CD (Down in The Alley) on EMI Records back in 1993, I have felt a massive void in my life. Down in The Alley is an amazing album, racked with beauty.This is my first Steady Rollin’ Bob Margolin Album and i must say i am blown away.
This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in Down in The Alley. In Boogie At Midnight you won’t find any flashy solos. Boston Driving Blues - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. Brown Liquor is a song you cannot help but think about at odd moments in your day. What sets Down In The Alley apart is Steady Rollin’ Bob Margolin’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. Dream Of Nothing (3:28) a good melody. In Lonesome Bedroom Blues Steady Rollin’ Bob Margolin spins a tale you want to hear to the end. Look What You Done is simple, dignified and effective, Steady Rollin’ Bob Margolin refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. When listening to Now Who’s The Fool, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. Vocals of Steady Rollin’ Bob Margolin in Tough Times really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. Twelve Year Old Boy had me crying as I was able to relate so well. Wee Wee Hours is the more seemingly obscure song on Down in The Alley that bear up best to repeated listening. This song may be the most meaningful. Listening to Worried Life Blues you can hear that Steady Rollin’ Bob Margolin has still amazing chemistry with band members.
