Andy Cohen is a virtuoso finger-picking style guitar player who has countless times been described as a living encyclopaedia of folk, country and blues music He grew up playing piano at home and listening to lots of his parents’ Dixieland records but, when he was only sixteen, he became totally impressed by the music of Big Bill Broonzy and Reverend Gary Davis This last album faithfully reflects with great determination the many years Andy has spent on the road carrying his genuine sound in folk songs, blues, country and Americana to all those who wished to listen carefully to his music Today Andy Cohen is an expert and an accomplished acoustic guitar player as well as an actual troubadour or a real storyteller of American folk music, which is perfectly reflected in this Road Be Kind where, besides a bunch of traditional songbook compositions, he also includes seven tracks coming from some of his best friends and colleagues
