Passionate of Delta and Piedmont blues from decades ago, Catfish Keith has devoted himself to rescue those old legends and stories about pre-war old bluesmen who lived near Mississippi banks, that now belong to their legacy, musical culture and tradition To celebrate his four decades of musical research in old country blues, now he brings us a new piece of work where he develops fourteen songs based in old tunes of artists like Frank Stokes, Blind Willie Johnson, The Mississippi Sheiks or Jimmie Rodgers among others You will also find some own blues compositions inspired in the old last century twenties southern tradition Catfish Keith sings with passion and performs every song with love, respect and sensitivity, thanks to his six and twelve strings guitars and his National Steel guitars More than twenty albums on his back confirm him as one of the most creative and productive artists who have recorded in acoustic format If you like old Delta blues, Mississippi John Hurt or Gary Davis gospel or the blues played with fingerpicking technique and foot-stomping rhythm, then I am sure you immediately will be caught with this album by an intense, deep virtuoso musician who knows very well the style he plays
