Only Slightly Mad

This album is a thorough display of Bromberg’s many talents – as a sensitive, masterful guitarist, mandolinist and vocalist, convincing song interpreter, songwriter, bandleader and arranger. There are enough musical roots on display on Only Slightly Mad to support a giant redwood – blues, bluegrass, gospel, folk, country, Irish fiddle tunes, English drinking songs, even a cappella, all happily coexist, as they did on his much-loved albums of the ’70s and ’80s.
