O’s Notes: Guitarist Bobby Broom is a New Yorker who’s been hanging out in Chicago since 1984. He’s incorporated a lot of the Chicago blues into his mix. For“Soul Fingers Broom teams up with Ben Paterson on the Hammond B3 and drummer Kobe Watkins. They play jazzy rhythms and blues with an emphasis on the blues and they cook! Kobe unleashes a fierce beat on “Get Ready” while Peterson holds the trio together. Bobby plays with incredible soul and passion to recreate classics like “Come Together”, “Ode To Billie Joe”, “Summer Breeze” and “I Can’t Help It”. There is a lot to enjoy here, over and over again!
