The Original is the new album coming from a singular blues musician called Eric Noden Thirteen well done powerful songs that once again he clearly shows his knowledge and mastery of acoustic blues deeply rooted on old school pure tradition Eric is performs alone only backed by his acoustic guitar and his harp on two songs His good friend and fellow Joe Filisko plays harp in Turtle Creek and 34th Street Shuffle, Andy Cohen puts his acoustic guitar on a couple of songs and Jimmy Sutton plays acoustic bass on three more songs This cd clearly shows Eric Noden’s passion and devotion for musicians like Reverend Gary Davis or Blind Blake and Lonnie Johnson or Eddie Lang A beautiful honest and very nice record, where Eric shines, not only as a great performer, but also as an old traditional music expert
