"Love Like You Never Been Burned" Rev. Marv Ward's new disc, takes the standard blues format and funnels it through 40 years of rock 'n' roll, singer-songwriters, folk music and classic R&B. What comes out is a gospel and soul-inflected combination of Delta and Piedmont styles that's tailor-made for the barrooms and juke joints where blues began and still thrives to this day.

.....The words that make up the title track are just a portion of the advice that the song gives. Ya see, if you really want to get through life's strife, then.... you gotta work like you don't need the money, be happy with the karma you've earned, you gotta dance like nobody's watching and "Love Like You Never been Burned". Now that's a mouthful. Between the very advisable lyrics, the intensity with which they're sung, the funky rhythm and the rippin' sax riffs, I'm thinking I just heard this years song of the year.......

Veteren Blues Guitarist Rev. Marv Ward grew up in the small town of Lorton, Virginia. He played his first gig at 10 and started performing professionally at age 16. He's played in literally dozens of bands over the past 40 years and has secured his place among bluesmen with his straightforward no-nonsense blues style.  It's a little bit Delta, a little bit Piedmont, a whole lot of R&B, but mostly, it's straight up Rev. Marv Ward.
