Album Notes & Community Reviews

Making technological history as the very first major-label album to be recorded entirely using digital equipment, the slide-guitar virtuoso presented a flawlessly clean set of R&B and roots rock covers. His impeccable playing revitalizes early rock and roll staples with incredibly sharp, crystal-clear studio precision. Despite the pioneering digital medium, the deeply organic, blues-driven performances remain incredibly warm and authentic.
