Manitoba Hal Brolund brings a sturdy voice and a whole lot of ukulele dazzle to a song list stacked to the rafters with blues and folk staples on this double-disc “live” set from Belgium. The Winnipeg-bred uke whiz keeps his travel costs light, backing his sure-fingered solo stretches himself courtesy of a loop or two. This congenial coffeehouse-set-on-steroids features fresh feeling takes on Mississippi John Hurt’s “Let The Mermaids Flirt With Me”, the Robert Johnson gem “They’re Red Hot” and the theme from the HBO tv series The Wire, “Way Down In The Hole” and plenty of others.
