"Rise Up is Ronnie Earle's 27th album and his 13th for Canada's venerable Stony Plain label. The blues master's playing style has long been celebrated for its iconic tone and deep well of emotion. None of that changes here, but this set is topically contemporary, a reaction to the history-making year 2020".

"While Rise Up bears some similarities to 2019's Beyond the Blue Door by being a true band album, it has Earl stretching out more with those goose bump inducing epic solos of his too. These are blues for the recently lost, for the cries for justice, and for the impact of Covid-19, mixed in with some blues standards, some of which are live recordings from Daryl's House Club".
