THis lady kicks the blues in the f-ing ass.Reviewer: DJ Great seering blues record. This is a must for all blues fans wanting a jolt! Cannot stop listening to this CD. Is her new CD available? Please, Please come to Jax, Florida.
Rockin’ electric blues.Reviewer: Electric blues and rock in an intense, brooding, powerfully sensual style-recorded live! Becky Barksale rips it up in a no-nonsense live recording, crowd noise and all. What if Stevie Ray Vaughan sang like Janis Joplin? What if it was all one person? Any fan of lively and rockin’ blues will love this CD. From uptempo driving knock-you-out bar-room blues rock, to the smoky, cry-in-your-whiskey real blues, her playing is amazing. Forget all stereotypes. Really tasteful playing in a truly authentic recording that reminds me of growing up in Chicago surrounded on all sides by the best blues music in the world.
Reviewer: Nick Fraise after hearing this cd im in totally aw. I've never heard anything like it. looking forward to seeing her play live regardless of where i have to go to see her. Shes simplying amazing. 
She's a damn good players.Reviewer: Dirtyblues.com I'm not saying you should check out Becky Barksdale because She is a female guitarist in a male dominated genre. You should check her out because She's a damn good players.
Bad To the Bone!Reviewer: Biscuit Miller Becky Played the Blues Fest in Indiana and she Rock the House.. Cant wait to see her again this year, Keep ROCKIN Becky! Biscuit Miller
Like Stevie Ray With A Sex Change!Reviewer: Wow! From Another Chick Guitar Player Hard to find a girl guitar player who REALLY plays the guitar..ANDyou manage to pack in some mean vocals... thought you were black for a minute! You Go, Girl!
She's Very Good!Reviewer: Jim Wiley Gigged with her in the 80's and she's still good!
WOW!Reviewer: Blueshammer I have to agree that the people talking in the background is somewhat annoying; I kept wondering...aren't they believing what they're seeing? I caught Becky at Bayfont Blues Fest in Duluth. Although I haven't smoked cigarettes in thirty years, I NEEDED one after her performance....WHOA! I am thrilled to have recommended her for the Owatonna Music Festival. Really lookin' forward to seein' her again!
Smoldering blues player you need to hear and seeReviewer: So Cal Blues Fan Not a weak song on this CD. I've had the pleasure of seeing her handle the lead & rhythm guitar chores and vocals at the same time live, if Stevie Ray had a sister it would be her. You won't see a better live performer on any level. Brought some friends along to see her last time and they were floored! CD is a must have for any Texas blues fan. Treat yourself right, buy the CD and see her A.S.A.P!
Real Texas Blues done with gritty Texas guitar soundReviewer: Bob Wood, Musicians Hotline Becky Barkdales Real Live is a Texas Blues masterpiece. Gritty Texas guitar and a strong sexy voice that is powerfull. Barksdales originals are well placed along with a Willie Dixon tune. She turns Dixon's I Just Want To Make Love To You into her song. Full of Texas soul Barksdale leaves you breathless with Satisfy Me, Little Bit Wild, and Going Back To Texas. This album contains real rockin blues. Becky Barksdale is the Real Deal on Real Live!
Her live shows are as good as the CDReviewer: Joe Sundberg I saw her last week at the Bayfront Blues Festival - and her show was as good or better than the CD. The people talking on the CD are annoying (couldn't they have filtered that out ?!?!) - but you forget about that, once she gets her groove going. Her voice and presense are nothing short of astonishing !!
Great Stuff!!Reviewer: John Some of the most sensual blues I've heard. While the instrumentation is very good, this CD is all about Becky's voice - and it will make your blood run hot. When she sings, Satisfy Me, or I Just Want to Make Love to You, you believe it -- cold showers optional.
Becky sends her music with a Cosmic level of energy!Reviewer: Cy Collins This is the Blues equivalent of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Becky sends heavy-duty, body-and-mind blasting blues, with cosmic energy levels. This release profiles the Blues from A to Z, while the artist easily compliments each style. Most listeners will recognize the amazing Satisfy Me from the HOB's Essential Women In Blues release; after that teaser, finally, you can have some more Barksdale! Even though the quasi-live audience seems to be totally ignoring Becky, the cuts are full bodied and well recorded: you will easily be able to ignore the audience! I Just Want to Make Love to You just may be better than sex! Every cut will leave you wanting more. |
