Here comes a true genuine down-home Texas blues artist Singer and harmonica player Gene ‘Birdlegg’ Pittman surprises us pleasantly with an original and real intense album Birdlegg cannot hide or deny the deep influences of his harmonica playing, that follow the path of fifties harmonica players but specially Sonny Boy Williamson and Sonny Terry Pittman began his career in the seventies, traveling and working around San Francisco Bay area blues circuits He was also a usual player at the jam sessions that were regularly held in such legendary clubs like Eli Mile High Club, Shalimar or the famous Fifth Amedment, where every night blues could be felt in around Birdlegg began to play there with fellows like Sonny Rhodes, Massala Talbert, Haskell ‘Cool Pope’ Sadler and Mississippi Johnny Waters and he learned all the secrets and resources to give and make feel the blues to all people who crowded clubs, cafes and other joints where blues was played every night This album truly shows the real talent of this singer and harmonica player who really feels the blues in his heart and soul He is also backed by some local Austin musicians, who keep the real spirit of the music they play
