Star of stage and screens

"In just six tracks, Bob Margolin shares a myriad of emotions swathed in brilliant acoustic guitar. This is the blues - the real blues - and we can all feel it. Self-produced and self-recorded, Bob isn't backing anyone and no one is backing him. Sharing just his thoughts and guitar, Star of Stage and Screens which comes out Friday, October 23rd via Vizztone, is a must have EP".

"Last time Bob Margolin went for a stroll naked, he got plenty of attention, and not just for his pulchritude. With just his voice and guitar, Margolin's 2019 release, This Guitar and Tonight, took home a Blues Music Award for Best Acoustic Album. He continues to display his stripped-down approach for his latest, Star of Stage and Screens, a six-song EP on his own Vizztone label ... He's no Dr. Fauci, but Margolin does provide an anecdote for anxiety, getting stuff off his chest and helping you breathe a bit easier as well knowing somebody else is going through the same stuff and is offering a prescription for survival".

"The former Muddy Waters sideman goes it alone armed with only the reliable Gibson, a National steel guitar, and a slide on this six-track ode to lost gigs, missing friends, political ineptitude, and the destruction of the entertainment world as we once knew it ... While this disc has a couple of humorous lines, its mood is more refelctive and, occasionally, somber, but is buoyed by Margolin's fret wizardry and keen personal and social observations ... Star of Stage and Screens is no freewheeling party album, but it's a spot-on release for these times".
