Album Description
This sixteen-song offering of classic folk blues, country blues, & Delta blues brilliantly showcases Bartley's intuitive feel for this bedrock American music. Sparingly produced using wooden and resonator guitars, harmonica, string bass accordion, & percussion, with guest appearances by Johnny Cunningham, fiddle, and Billy Novick, clarinet. "Despite the song list presented here, Bartley is no mere Robert Johnson wannabe. Instead of coarsening his voice and trying to sound like an old Delta bluesman, he presents these songs in a straightforward manner that comes from an intimate knowledge of the source materials, but as transmuted through his own experience. This is coffeehouse music of the highest order; the originals fit in nicely with the old standards (a number of Robert Johnson classics alongside warhorses like "Sitting on Top of the World"), and his playing is effortlessly swinging. Bartley did his own liner notes for this, and they illustrate his deep understanding of the music as well. A modern-day folk-blues album that really has something to contribute.

I'm a big Geof Bartley fan and have been for years. I think this is some of his best CDs. If you are new the Geoff, this is a pretty good place to start. It's got a nice blues edge to it, and it is great to listen to on a long drive.
