The new Ernie Hawlins’ cd brings the kind of music he normally performs, that is to say, blues, folk, country, rags but honestly and seriously played, coming directly from the bottom of his heart Ernie goes over the truly contemporary Afroamerican musical tradition, bringing back nice old songs from Blind Willie McTell to Reverend Gary Davis or even rescuing from oblivion Harlem Hamfats’ tunes, together with his completely inspired own compositions Not to say this album is a very good one will be a terrible injustice
