Seth Rosenbloom – Keep on Turning

So when I started my run on Sunday, my IPhone was only charged 21%. So I knew there was no way I was going to make it through the whole run, especially if I was listening to music. But when I was down to around 10% in the first Quarter mile the headphones came off.

The iPhone lasted through the first two miles. Through the first two miles, my average pace was 10:05. I finished the run in 30:56. Using the Cool  Runnings’ Pace Calculator. My average pace calculates to 9:58 min/mile. http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/4/4_1/96.shtml

Tuesday’s Run

On Tuesday though I made sure that my iPhone was all charged up before my run. Initially, I thought I would run four miles,  it since I got a late start in the early afternoon I stuck with 3.1 miles. I was a typically normal run. My pace bo weed around 9:53 min/ mile throughout the run. With a slight sprint at the end my overall pace dropped to 9.47 min/mile. One of my best times of the year.

The Soundtrack – Keep on Turning – Seth Rosenbloom

Keep on Turning the debut album release from blues guitarist Seth Rosenbloom was supposed to be the soundtrack for Sunday’s run. Not! However, it was the soundtrack for Tuesday’s run and a good one it was.

i have actually listened to the album several times and it is a terrific album. While I find Rosenbloom’s vocals a little above average. It’s his searing guitar that sold me on the album.

….Waltham, Massachusetts, he began playing classical violin as a child and subsequently took up guitar at age eleven. Initially inspired by the music of Elvis and The Beatles, he earned a performance merit scholarship from Berklee College of Music by the time he was 16.

I don’t know about you but I do believe that those who go to the  Berklee College of Music tends to know just a little about music!

Keep on Turning

The tracks on Keep on Turning are great from the opening track which is the title track!! Many of the songs are composed by Rosenbloom. Several of the songs were written solely by Seth. While others were songs co-written with Sonya Rae Tayloor.

.The album also contains classic covers of B.B. King, Elmore James and Freddie King.

Joining Rosenbloom on the album are: Travis Carlton on bass (Robben Ford, Scott Henderson), Scott Kinsey (Tribal Tech) on keys and Gary Novak (George Benson, Chick Corea) on drums.

Keep on Turning was produced  by Josh Smith, a world renowned blues guitarist in his own right. Keep On Turning was recorded at Smith’s Flat V Studios in Reseda, California.

Final Thought

The bottom line is Keep on Turning is a winner. The tracks are varied the vocals are fine and the guitar is exceptional.
