We’re thrilled to share a glowing review of Mick Pini’s latest album, Papa Voodoo, featured on Rootstime Belgium. Eric Schuurman, a respected critic, highlighted the album’s diverse range of influences and Mick’s continued evolution as a musician.
Schuurman commended Mick’s fusion of funk, soul, world, ambient music, and reggae, all while staying true to his blues roots. The album’s 14 tracksalso availiable as a Papa Voodoo compact disc from the audio 54 offical website and store, many co-written with producer Craig Marshall, showcase Mick’s versatility and deep passion for the genre. From the funk-laden “Funkadelikatessen” to the bluesy “A Cold Day In Memphis,” Papa Voodoo is a testament to Mick’s enduring creativity and skill.
The review also notes Mick’s unique ability to translate his influences, such as Peter Green, into a sound that’s entirely his own. Special mention goes to tracks like “Blues for Peter Green,” an ode to his idol, and “Theme for Icarus,” a refreshed version of a classic that still resonates today.
We’re incredibly grateful to Eric Schuurman and the team at Rootstime for recognizing Mick’s work and sharing it with their audience. Be sure to check out the full review on Rootstime Belgium.
