Paul Reddick and company dig into the pre-World War II rural blues repertoire. They come up with Delta gems for their tough, electric blues sound. They use studio effects and unexpected equipment to achieve raw, analog visitations of the past blues masters on almost every track. Colin Linden produced and adds signature guitar to this exquisite example of visceral urban blues with clear juke joint roots featuring Reddick's harmonica. ~ Tom Schulte minimize
