This album was originally published in 2007 by Blue Witch and now it has been reissued by Vizztone Records adding some extra bonus tracks The recording brings us most different Delta blues aspects with the personal vision of two experienced musicians and deep knowers of that musical style, like are singer and guitar player Dave Riley and harmonica player Bob Corritore who also produced the cd The title Travellin’ The Dirt Road says what you will find along ten intense songs full of the most emotional down-home blues and a real passionate spirit Riley was born in Hatstiesburg, Mississippi and grew up singing gospel before he moved to Chicago West Side when he was only a teenager In the middle of the nineties he entered on Sam Carr’s, Frank Frost’s and John Weston’s bands Few things can be said about Bob Corritore good fans do not already know Only remind listeners he began to play harmonica when he was only thirteen years old and he learned directly from Walter Horton, Junior Wells and other great harmonica players His traditional playing have led him to share stage with the best ones, like Jimmy Rogers, Willie Dixon, Honeyboy Edwards, Pinetop Perkins, Sammy Lay, Koko Taylor or Bo Diddley and play harp in more than twenty five recordings We are facing an unbeatable record that honestly reflects real Delta blues
