I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Positively 4th Street, by Rory Block and it's a stylized tribute to Bob Dylan. Opening with Everything Is Broken, Block gets it rocking with layered guitars and slide, backed by light snare and bass backing her trademark vocals. Solid opener. One of my favorite tracks on the release is Not Dark Yet, a strong blues with Block working guitar magic against her soulful vocals. Smooth slide and concise picking really makes this track stand out. One of my favorite Dylan compositions, Positively 4th Street this is a nice cover with slide accompaniment and drums. Block really captures Dylan's feel on this one. Wrapping the release is Murder Most Foul, a tough track and well dramatized by Block. This is an interesting exploration of one of America's greatest songwriters.
