Description
After one of my concerts during a UK tour, a fan approached me as I was signing CDs and said: “If you’d like to see and play the National guitar that belonged to the famous Delta bluesman, Bukka White, I could meet you at your hotel tomorrow morning.” So, I thanked him and arranged to meet him at my hotel the next morning at ten… As a songwriter, singer and guitarist, I’ve always been waiting to make an entire album that belongs to the recorded tradition of the blues songster. The arrival of Booker’s guitar was the sign I’d been waiting on for years.

Heard “Rocking Chair” on Back Porch Music on the radio and picked up the album on iTunes. The album is filled with wonderful songs distilled down to bring out the essential quality of each; nothing missing, nothing more than what is needed. These songs are a fabulous combination of acoustic blues guitar, great vocals and haunting harmonica. Every sound is a key component, and combined with lyrics filled with truth and meaning, the result is a powerful listening experience.
