<p><span class="font_regular">https://bluesdoodles.com/bluesdoodles/robert-hill-and-joanne-lediger-revelation/</span><span class="font_large"> -<strong> </strong></span><strong><i>Review from </i><em>Bluesdoodles – the home of honest and independent thought about music and words.</em></strong></p>
<p>"Blazing harp work...extraordinary guitar solos...Robert Hill certainly knows how to let the music take it's twists and turns like the Mighty Mississippi- with the smooth, powerful and soulful vocals of Joanne Lediger, the 'Devil's Music" couldn't get any better...every track is smokin' and radio worthy..music that most definitely was made to blow minds and lift spirits. "Revelation", a collaboration between slide guitar Hall-of-Famer, Robert Hill and acclaimed vocalist Joanne Lediger, is a spiritually rambunctious and joyfully delirious celebration of Gospel-Blues. -<strong><em>Northern Jersey Blues Society</em></strong></p>
<p>"Although "John The Revelator" is often credited as "Traditional" (either no one knows who really wrote it or too many people claim to have) when it comes to its composer, Blind Willie Johnson is credited as being the first to record it, back in 1930. Since then, if we all had a dollar for everyone else who's performed it, we'd all be quite wealthy. That said, on the song that music critic Thomas Ward claims is "one of the most powerful songs in all of pre-war acoustic music.....", this rendition is one of the most powerful I've had the pleasure of listening to. Between Robert's muscular guitar leads and his haunting harp leads; the robust rhythm groove Steve and Frank are in; and Joanne's compelling lead vocals combined with the angelic harmony vocals she and Paulina are belting out; everything about this performance is absolutely masterful. Take a well-deserved bow!" -<strong><em>Review by Peter Blewzzman Lauro, Blues Editor, www.mary4Music.com</em></strong></p>
<p>Hill, originally from North Little Rock, Arkansas, has been living and performing around the New York City area for the past 30 years and performing with Joanne Lediger for the past 15. He was inducted into the New York Blues Hall Of Fame in 2014. An award-winning artist, not only for his slide guitar work, but also for his songwriting, winning in numerous songwriting competitions including Billboard, Unisong, and the ISC. </p>
<p>Born and raised in Rockland County, New York, Joanne Lediger is a vocalist who has been performing live and recording with bands professionally for the past 35 years. Joanne has had the opportunity to record and/or perform with musical acts/musicians such as Joe Cocker, Vassar Clements, Derek Trucks, Dr. John, Steve Kimock, Larry Campbell, Buddy Cage, Cornell Dupree, Chuck Rainey, Leo Nocentelli, John Popper, Bernie Worrell, Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Casady, to name a few.</p>
<p>Backed by Frank Pagano on drums, Steve Gelfand on bass, and Ed Alstrom on B3, "Revelation" is a contemporary, refreshing, and original take on a traditional genre, Gospel Blues.</p>

<p>I have a exciting new project that began this week, working with audio engineer extraordinaire, Paul Special. Having engineered over 100 albums, Paul was up for a GRAMMY this year with a cd he did with, none other than, JEFF BECK. As part of an audio class he teaches at CCNY, we are recording/mixing two new songs of mine, featuring a new, up and coming vocalist on one of the tracks, and the incomparable, Joanne Lediger singing on the other.
We will be using horn players from CCNY, and string players from Julliard. We tracked the rhythm track for one of the songs this past Tuesday, with Frank Pagano on drums, Craig Akin on bass, and myself on keyboards. The students set us up on the stage of an amphitheatre at CCNY, and we cut the rhythm track live. This project will be finished later in May- this is going to be a blast...will keep you posted!</p>

<p>I was fortunate enough to win 1st Place in this co-sponsored contest, for my instrumental, 'Slide On Rye"
The contest centered on showcasing outstanding guitar playing.
"Hill's aggressive slide playing over a rough-and-ready backing track makes us want to slam down some moonshine and start a ballroom blitz. It's intense and relentless, and Hill's slide tone is fat, edgy and fabulous."
Guitar Player Magazine June 2009
Among the hefty winnings were numerous recording software programs, controllers, and a Traveler Escape EG-1 guitar.
