Synopsis

Album Description
Long overdue and worth the wait! One of the living masters of acoustic country blues returns with eighteen tracks that set the gold standard for the genre?over an hour of all-new originals and stunning interpretations of rare classics. Geremia, who learned to play in the early 60s sitting at the feet of the great "rediscovered" bluesmen, is renowned for coming up with the rarest and most obscure gems in the blues repertoire (this CD includes compositions by Bumble Bee Slim, Peetie Wheatstraw, Blind Blake, the mysterious George Carter, Jim Jackson, Jim Foster [Sam Collins], Jesse Thomas, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Charlie Patton, Mississippi John Hurt, Big Bill Broonzy, Blind John Davis, Scrapper Blackwell, Blind Willie McTell, Pink Anderson and the late Dave Van Ronk). A superb recording.
 

CD Reviews

Great Acoustic Blues!
Acoustic Blues Fan | Houston, Texas United States | 05/25/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you like the old style acoustic blues, this is the man. Geremia plays acoustic 6 & 12 string guitar (and if I remember correctly a piano tune or two) along with his blues harp. Most songs are Geremia solo, but he has an occasional sideman joining him. He is an excellent guitarist and has a great voice for the blues!After years of purchasing books and CDs from amazon, I've never had the urge to write a review until hearing this guy. Great stuff!"
Should win best blues album of the year
N. Langston | Sarasota, Florida United States | 07/07/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"First off, I actually met and talked Paul Geremia, and know him through my guitar teacher. Plus I saw him recienty in consert. He was really excited about this new album, and played most of the songs that were on it. So I kind of knew what to expect. This album is blues purists and fans alike. I hope this wins best blues album of the year. Paul is probably the best acoustic blues musician alive today. What more can I say, get it"
