CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com On his sophomore release, guitarist Eric Sardinas seems to have chilled out a little, settling into a musical stride that, as with all the best blues, can keep going all day long. While in many ways his music hasn't changed much since 1999's Treat Me Right, Sardinas sounds a lot more confident on this one, especially during Devil's Train's bluesier second half. Here, his admittedly exceptional slide work and gravelly voice are great assets, especially as he relaxes into "Country Mile," duets with Honeyboy Edwards on "Gambling Man Blues," and carries "Down to Whiskey" all the way to the end. Although Sardinas is from southern California--and that's often audible--there's a Texas feel to his blues: it's big, loud, tight, and impossible to ignore. A notable exception is the final track, which ends things on an unexpectedly quiet note. --Genevieve Williams Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsBetter Than the First! deepbluereview | SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA USA | 09/20/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "Listening to Eric Sardinas one has to conclude that he is one of the top electric slide guitarist in the business today. Based on this sophmore release, it's clear that he continues to grow and sharpen his skills. However, as with his previous release, it's clear that his hard edged style of blues will not be easily appreciated or accepted by many blues fans. Much of that has to do with Sardinas's singing which is smokey, strained, gruff and at times uneasy. On "Killin' Time Blues" and "Gambling Man Blues" which features HoneyBoy Edwards, Sardinas does demonstrate that he is capable of some rather pleasing vocals, showing that the harsh vocal tone throughout the remainder of the CD is intentional. If you like your blues hard and heavy and your guitar smokin', this CD may well fit your bill." This ain't your grandaddy's Dobro music William V. Cottrell | Oroville, WA | 12/12/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "Eric Sardinas is a rare talent indeed. If you like high-powered slide guitar electric blues, you can't go wrong with either "Devils Train" or his first one "Treat Me Right". This guy respects the blues tradition so much he's literally got it tattooed on his back, and he knows how to fire it up and make those two modified Dobros wail. Do not pass up a chance to see him live, it's a great show. He looks and plays the bad boy role onstage, but as mentioned by another reviewer, he's easygoing and approachable-- he took some time to tell me about his guitars and thanked me for coming to the show, and he meant it. By all means add this CD to your collection!" Terrific! W. C Donovan | Boston, MA | 04/17/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "Loaded with great phrasing, tremendous slide work, and great song variation, blues lovers cannot go wrong with this tight, exceptional recording. This is Sardinas' second studio album, and it's just as good as his first, if not better."
