Lawrence Lebo: Don't Call Her Larry, Volume 3, American Roots (2010)
For the most obsessive-
Lawrence Lebo is a musical minimalist intent on framing American Roots music as its indivisible subatomic pieces, in the case of Volume 3 blues, jazz, folk and western swing. Her approach is deconstructive, an effort to strip away 50 years of interpretive veneer to expose the original genres in their most basic forms. One could cast her as a musical theologian formulating her systematic theology from the canon of American Music and not be far off of exactly how important.
Lebo is at her absolute best in the most stripped down of formats. Her duets with bassist Denny Croy reveal a keen ear for the music and presenting it in such a way allows the listener to the essence of songs, the lyrics and the swing. An example is "On Time," a sexy managerial take on what one appreciates most in a, er, "employee." Playful, smart, stripped to the bone, Lawrence Lebo's pilgrimage back to America is in full swing.

Don't Call Her Larry, Volume 3: American Roots
There is always room at the top for great blues. In the jungle of music out there,
with all the monkeys and elephants closing in on you, it can be refreshing to have
a blues bird sing in your ear. Lawrence Lebo is such a bird, and she can sing in
my ear whenever she wants to.
"Don't Call Her Larry, Volume 3" completes the blues
trilogy Ms. Lebo has been working on with style. A brilliant collection for young
and old, the songs evoke the past masters while inspiring the next wave of blues
greats to follow suit. Easily the best album in the genre I have heard this year.
With
equal parts Etta James and Bonnie Raitt, Lawrence Lebo's voice is made for the ages.
She would have packed them in 60 years ago at the most happening spots out there,
and her style should translate into quick chart dominance today.
Lawrence Lebo is
on top of the world with no plans to go elsewhere. Give yourself the gift of her
voice with her latest album tonight. I'd never call her Larry, but I will call her
an instant classic.
