If you think we do not have some musicians in Spain who follow the real Son House, Mississippi John Hurt, Big Bill Broonzy or Jesse Fuller tradition, you are completely wrong You should only listen attentively to this cd and see the deep elegance of Alex Guitar playing Alex is not an exceptional singer but with the guitar on his hands he perfectly plays deep old blues giving them a musical treatment, intensity, devotion and honesty that make him become a different musician in the Spanish blues scene Alex Guitar has produced this excellent album himself The result is a beautiful, cool record, with twelve covers he sings and plays with his acoustic guitar, his National Delphi single resonator, his Johnson resophonic-tricone and a kazoo in a couple of songs, to complete an original cd, quite different from blues that is normally recorded and produced in Spain Also mention Manuel de Arcos on harp in four tracks
