Falling into the Americana and blues-rock genres, Suitcase Full Of Sorrow And Another Filled With Dreams is the 19th album from Long Island NY based MOTU. The stage name for Dr. Richard Michelson, MOTU also spotlights a number of musicians, including Dee Michelson (vocals), Bob Rush (keys/harmonica), Mark Loebl (bass), Ed Modzel (drums) and Rich Fry (guitar). Some of the artists MOTU are compared to include Buddy Guy and John Lee Hooker and on this 2019 release, MOTU proves his worth as a slide guitarist, singer-songwriter and bandleader. The ten-track CD release of Suitcase Full Of Sorrow And Another Filled With Dreams covers a lot of musical bases, including blues, pop, rock, some folk flavors and country twang too. One of the many highlights, track six, “New World Order” touches on modern day societal issues. Some of the tracks are more introspective in nature while other tracks, some featuring searing electric guitar leads, are more involved and rocked out. A rare, unexpected treat from the Long Island based-MOTU, Suitcase Full Of Sorrow And Another Filled With Dreams is a very well rounded album of 21st century blues-rock.
