Bman's Blues Report

I just received a copy of the Long Hard Road , the newest release by Jon Mosey . John has a real feel for both Piedmont and delta blues styles as demonstrated by this 16 track set. Duffel Blues has very traditional styling, simple vocal and drop D guitar tuning (where the lowest string is dropped 1 full step giving the player an octave split for his thumb) giving the instrumentation a very bluesy feel. Jackhammer Blues also has a very traditional guitar styling with a solid rhythm but running picking line. Long Hard Road has the distinct sound of Skip James but without his wailing voice. I really love the sound of a James composition so this track is tops. Hummingbird Malarkey is inspired by Joseph Spense and is a very clean little acoustic instrumental. Don't Take Everybody To be Your Friend is an expanded version of the earlier track recorded by Spence and House. This track is a bit more musical and has a few more verses added... a little more modern and polished but effect...

Acoustic traditional-based, working class New Roots Music. Playing for decades, apparently I'm too stupid to realize that you can't make a living at this. I play mostly Acoustic Guitar and sing, I also play Mandolin, Clawhammer and Scruggs style Banjo, Tenor Banjo, Lap Steel, Cavaquinho, Fiddle (badly), and a few other things with strings. I play and write about stuff I know. No deep hidden symbolic meanings, no cute wordplay, just straight ahead music. If you like what I’m doing, Like ---Bman’s Blues Report--- Facebook Page!
