The Road to Zen
Editorial Reviews
<"b00000gd767499"> Amazon.com
One of many younger guitarists drawing comparisons to Stevie Ray Vaughan, Corey Stevens at his best does indeed draw close to Vaughan in both skill and soul. Unlike many younger bluesmen, Stevens can tackle ballad and rocker with equal aplomb, and his guitar work on some of the slower songs on Road to Zen (check out "Lessons of Love" and "Blues Are Here to Stay," for instance) is nothing short of superb. The title track is excellent as well, a wandering, on-the-road ballad that draws the listener across a big-sky desert one moment and leaves one in a crowded airport late at night the next. Stevens is equally good when he rocks out, as with the purely Southern-style "Only One for You," or the appropriately high-energy closer to this album, "Charles Bronson Vibe." While Stevens hasn't attracted as much attention as have his contemporaries, he shows every sign of being a stayer. --Genevieve Williams --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
