Movie Review: Ronnie Earl - up close
Summary: 4 Stars

Watching Ronnie Earl play guitar is a real treat. His clean blues guitar style is very refreshing. He is one of those guitar players that is never appreciated for the true talent that they have. Recorded in what appears to be two sessions, the 1st set has Ronnie wearing some sort of African hat and what looks like a kabuki shirt... Not your typical Texas blues guitar gun slinger look... The second set has him looking more like your classic bluesman - wearing a suit and cool blues hat. This gig is recorded in a room which looks like it is a small studio. There is only about 40 people sitting in the audience. And they are sitting right up on the band - just a few feet away. During "Eddies Gospel Groove", Ronnie asks the audience to stand up and clap - which was a mistake. They stand, and they are so close (inside of the front monitors) you cannot see the band from the straight on camera. If Ronnie turns, the head stock of his guitar might hit someone... no kidding, they are that close. EGG is a intstrumental tour de force that all guitar players should study - a great song played by a great guitar player and the main reason I bought the dvd. The camera does get some great close ups of Ronnie playing guitar. For all the guitar players out there, this a real plus. This is a performance dvd. Not a mtv style quick-cut flashy concert that we are so used to being annoyed by... The camera focuses on Ronnie and his guitar in a intimate way. When Ronnie plays quietly, there is no audience talk or glass clinking that you hear in the usual bar show. The recording and sound quality is fantastic. This is a big advantage of the small audience in a small studio setting. Playing all instrumental blues, Ronnie has a great tone, and demonstrates fine technique on his strat. There is also one song of Ronnie playing solo acoustic, and an interview included as a bonus.

Movie Review: Ronnie Earl - Hope Radio
Summary: 3 Stars

Ronnie Earl is possibly my favorite guitar musician right now. He has done some great soulful music. This DVD is a little weak. Ronnie doesn't act like he is in good health or has much energy. I'm glad I have this DVD but I won't loan it to any friends that I'd like to turn on to Ronnie Earl music as it might turn them off. This is for fans only.
