CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Rishell and Raines make a potent team, as anyone who caught their last duet, I Want You to Know, can attest. Moving to the Country is an equally tasty mix, with a good selection of covers accompanied by several original songs. The originals stack up well against the covers, which speaks highly of them indeed, given that Moving to the Country features Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie ("My Washerwoman's Gone"), Leadbelly ("Keep Your Hands Off Her"), Blind Blake ("Sweet Jivin' Mama"), and more. The duo are accomplished musicians; both are strong vocalists, Rishell's guitar work is first-rate, and Raines's harmonica is note-perfect. Though they're often accompanied by backing musicians, Rishell and Raines are the stars of this show, and it's a show that's not to be missed. --Genevieve Williams Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsSolid, enjoyable blues with warmth and respect for tradition 08/29/1999 (4 out of 5 stars) "Paul Rishell and Annie Raines manage to continue the country and delta blues traditions without being taxidermists --- the life is still in the carefully and well-chosen covers. They can play the hell out of the electrified styles also, but give me those Bo Carter tunes anyday. Annie especially shines in the Chicago-style numbers, while Paul's playing on that National guitar is first rate. Paul and Annie make a good duet, with great chemistry and a refreshing restraint and smart tastefulness in their playing. Their band rocks, too. I recommend the album." Best Yet!!!!! Alastair Campbell | 09/21/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "Paul and Annie, an asset to acoustic blues have released another scorcher. They are like a great wine, maturing with taste over time.This is the best sounding yet, "Keep Your Hands Off Her", would have made Leadbelly Proud. This sticks out as my favorite. Annie's harmonica is brilliant as always blazing new tonal pathways for our ears to explore and enjoy. Not to Sloppy on the mando either.Where in the past some of the mix has been mired in reverb, all the notes are clear and concise, letting us hear the masterful interplay between the two artists.I spent a few years in Boston as a harp player and had the pleasure to sit in on a few tunes with Paul at the Sit and Bull in Maynard. It was always a pleasure just to sit and listen, but to play with a musician of such genius made a young harp players dream come true.Glad to have you guys back!" I Want you to know al caruso | Deland, Florida U.S.A. | 04/18/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Paul and Annie have made their best album together yet! Paul has a masterfull command of the blues that was evident even when we were growing up as kids and playing in bands in the Connecticut area in the mid sixties. I had the pleasure of jamming with Paul and Annie a few years ago at my home and her harp playing even then was the best I had heard and given her young age, was downright scarey! Now as evident on this latest release she has developed into a full blown harp monster! Together, Paul and Annie who share the lead vocal spots, along with Annie's harmonica and Pauls masterful blues guitar playing will give any blues lover a rare treat indeed. A must have!"
