This album certainly will be destined for awards its the best acoustic blues and roots album Ive heard in at least a year, if not longer. I most highly recommend this CD for all lovers of traditional and acoustic blues. Its a wonderful mix of Delta and Chicago blues with some great folky overtones. I dont think I can pick out a favorite cut here because they are all superb. Eleven fine originals and three marvelous covers make for some really interesting and classic performances from top to bottom.
