The all-instrumental 'Hope Radio' from Ronnie Earl drips with soul, spirituality and what he calls "the healing approach" to guitar playing on its many highlights.

'Hope Radio' is Ronnie's fourth CD for Stony Plain, following his two solo albums: 'I Feel Like Goin' On' (2003) and 'Now My Soul' (2004); and his acclaimed 2005 teaming with Duke Robillard, 'The Duke Meets The Earl'.

The all-instrumental 'Hope Radio' drips with soul, spirituality and what Earl calls "the healing approach" to guitar playing on its many highlights. The opening track, "Eddie's Gospel Groove," with his blistering guitar tone and accompanying Hammond B3 organ, recalls the intensity of Santana. The jamming "Bobby's Bop" delivers jazz grooves that bring to mind his early collaboration with organ legend Jimmy McGriff. On the slow, after-hours feel of "Blues for the West Side," Earl salutes many of Chicago's "West Side" school of guitarists, such as Buddy Guy and Luther "Guitar Junior" Johnson.
