: A worthy follow up to "The Southern Line" , "Spirit" is laced with Mal's thoughtful and muscular guitar playing.The whole band interact as equals, this recording confirms yet again that Australian Blues is blessed with artful music, and with enough venom to continue Mal's esteemed reputation. A feeling of space and time pervades the music, giving the listener a chance to let go and allow the music to carry you along for the ride.This is not an exercise in "too many notes" , or walls of noise suitably compressed and expanded.Highly Recommended for those who like clean, clear production without any feeling of synthetics or artificial production tricks......It is great to see that Mal is back on the stage after so long away.Mal has lived the blues, and we all know it will come through into the Music.I am sure all his fans are very happy for you Mal, Sandy and the family. Cant wait to catch up at a gig.
