My second CD dives deeper into the roots of Delta blues. I play the primitive one-string diddley bow on the haunting "Well Worn Blues", and a four-string cigar box guitar with toothpick frets on the driving "Second Chance." The raw sound of these forgotten instruments can express human emotions as deeply as their more sophisticated guitar cousins.

Just like my first CD, I am playing songs from the 1920-1930's Delta performers as well as six of my own songs, on metal resonator guitars, wood guitars and harmonica, as a one man band. No mutitracking tricks, it is recorded as I play it, from my heart to yours!
