“People who don’t know better imagine the blues is always sad, but that’s not true. There are happy, nasty, good-time blues that make you feel good, and sad blues that make you feel like you’re not alone.  It’s not even that simple, though.  There’s a whole pantheon of subjects for the blues.  This recording contains some songs I wanted to set down for the future…”
