Oh, so THIS is the blues thread...then here we go!

Cephas & Wiggins - Somebody Told the Truth

I've just finished listening to this album for the first time. A little acoustic guitar picking and some harmonica. Being a fan of the harmonica, I'm glad that I have some of that music in my collection. This is a pretty stripped down album...nothing fancy, clean sound, and nice harmonica...a couple live tracks mixed in. Not the greatest I've ever heard, but I enjoyed it. :yes:

and here's the new CD I mentioned on the Poll... excellent, vocals by Beth Hart.... I'll be picking up a few more of her CD's for sure..

Next up, another first listen to one of my blues CDs:

John Jackson - Front Porch Blues

Apparently, this was the last album John Jackson recorded before his death. A former gravedigger, he lived his life in the Fairfax, VA area. The first three tracks have a bit of a folksy feel to them...his voice is gravelly, but I find it a comfortable listen...I even get a slight sense of peace from his music.

Always glad to help! :banana:
