Taylor Ackerman’s Global Acid Reset returned to the Owl Acoustic Lounge, Saturday, Feb. 5.
They have released three albums in almost as many years, but the trio of guitarist/vocalist Taylor Ackerman, bassist Pat Ackerman and drummer Dustin Gergel were in a bluesy mood for their second set.
They played a couple songs from their last EP “Encephalon” including “ Wealth in the Work” and “ Cold Hard Times.”
They invited the Dark Wrangler’s Don Cassell on stage to add some impassioned blues harp to those two.
I missed the Dark Wrangler’s opening set.
They played a lot of southern rock and blues including ZZ Top’s “ I Thank You,” which Taylor Ackerman said was originally done by Sam and Dave.
They also covered Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “ I Know a Little” and even better, played a sweet tribute to Winnipeg’s the Perpetrators by covering their song “ I Must Be Crazy.”
Another highlight was a cover of The Allman Brothers Band’s “Not My Cross to Bear.”
And to branch out a little even covered some Susan Tsedeschi’s “Little By Little.”
