We imagine the scene. The group plays hammer-anvil style, irrepressible blues-rock after irrepressible blues-rock. Matt Andersen sighs, a little wearily. Guys ! Hey, guys! He shouts in vain, gives up, goes to unplug the instruments. Guys, he submits, shall we take a break? It would do us the greatest good. We ? The guys are pouting. Matt lets go: I admit it, it would do ME the greatest good. And here is our worthy heir of Gregg Allman, Leslie West and other formidable horde leaders, all alone with his acoustic guitar and a repertoire of circumstance: Time For the Wicked To Rest, peace of mind, See This Through… It says what it says: let’s take the time to hear each other live. ” Let me hold you close to me he sings softly. ” A little love is all we need “, he summarizes. This ninth album is indeed a balm. For him as for us. A living room bivouac, from house to house. This is the intention, the title and the result. Welcome home, Matt.
