Simon Kinny-Lewis - Pouring Water On A Drowning Man (2025) CD-Rip

“ Pouring Water On A Drowning Man " by Australian Blues, Rock Guitarist, Singer Simon Kinny-Lewis pushes the boundaries of modern blues rock Guitar and vocals with substance story telling. Simon truly showcases his Guitar virtuosity from Hendrix style Wha Wha to burning slide solo’s and Robben Ford inspired blues fusion. Well crafted lyrics are also a highlight on this release along with Simon’s soulful rock vocals. Supported by a world class power house rhythm section of Anton Davidyants on Bass ( Guthrie Govan, Virgil Donati ) and Tony Boyd on Drums ( Eric Steckel )

" Simon Kinny-Lewis strikes every note with intent. It’s fierce, fluid, heartfelt and infectious. Within his DNA you’ll find fragments of those who have gone before but rather than merely borrowing licks, he’s merged all of that musical wisdom into his own rockin’ concoction."

It's crystal clear that Kinny-Lewis has focused on slide playing in recent years, as his prowess with the slide is at the fore here, often nicely contrasted by his Robben Ford-ish lead lines we've always loved.
Without a doubt, this is a powerful entry in an already formidable discography of albums by an artist thoroughly respected by Blues fans and music-lovers alike
