💿 ALBUM REVIEW: John Primer and Friends - Tribute To Theresa's Lounge

John fell in love with the blues as a child when his father and an older cousin played guitar and sang at night after a hard day in the fields.

One of my favorite tracks on the release isoriginal composition, Panoramic, a melodic ballad with a light, Latin, drum rhythm and nicely phrased piano melody and firm support from Edson on bass.
