I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, You Are MY Medicine, by Liam Ward and Malcolm Thorne and it's light, bright and bluesy. Opening with title track, You Are My Medicine, Liam Ward sings lead vocal and plays harmonica with Malcolm Thorne accompanying on guitar and backing vocals. A nice melody and solid vocals make this a solid radio style opener. On Down Home Blues the emphasis goes more toward the acoustic slide work of Thorne and Ward's bluesy harmonica styling. Vocals are strong on this earthy track. Bulldoze Blues is a cool boogie with a driving rhythm line by Thorne and tight vocals by Ward. This is my favorite track on the release with it's simple, straight up approach. Wrapping the release is Song For Dennie is a nicely crafted acoustic instrumental track with simple yet cleanly executed guitar rhythms and harmonica melody. Solid closer for a cool release.
