Freddie Hubbard Red Clay Rock Music CD Review

The exceptionally talented Rock artist Freddie Hubbard has released him CD entitled Red Clay. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Freddie Hubbard fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Red Clay Freddie Hubbard’s artistic excellence is on full display as Hubbard has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it's own.

One of the nicer things about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Rock isn’t your favorite genre you still can’t help but appreciate the greatness of the artist.

I give Red Clay my highest recommendation. It just plain belongs in any serious music collectors collection regardless of genre preference.

While this entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 3 - Suite Sioux, track 5 - Cold Turkey, and track 6 - Red Clay - Live

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Red Clay. This is a great track!
