Album Notes & Community Reviews

Transitioning his highly idiosyncratic acoustic fingerpicking to a fully amplified setting, this release captures the raw intensity of electric Texas blues. The session retains the loose, improvisational country blues feeling while integrating a driving, electric rhythm section.
