Ronnie Earl and The Broadcasters Are
Out to
Spread The Love on New Tour
and CD
One of
the most acclaimed guitarists of his
generation, Ronnie Earl, is touring
with his band, The Broadcasters, in
support of his upcoming CD, Spread
the Love, releasing August 24 on
Stony Plain Records, distributed in
the U.S. by ADA.
During
a career that began when he joined
Roomful of Blues, Ronnie Earl has
charted a course that has led him to
become a legendary musician; one
recognized around the world for his
dynamic and soulful playing. For his
sixth Stony Plain album, Spread the
Love, Ronnie Earl has raised the bar
even further, with 14 instrumental
tracks that speak volumes of his
amazing fret work, whether on
originals or paying tribute to his
influences such as Albert Collins
(“Backstroke”) and Kenny Burrell (“Chitlins
Con Carne), or on the beautifully
spiritual ballad written by Duke
Pearson, (but perhaps best-known by
trumpeter Donald Byrd’s version)
“Christo Redentor.”
