    Valoración: GREAT

Gifted with a more than excellent technique, taste and creativity, Jason Ricci is now one of the most powerful and seasoned harmonica players of actual blues His shows do not leave anyone indifferent for the extreme delivery and passion he always gives on stage Now Ricci has joined forces with singer and guitar player JJ Appleton to achieve a project that moves away from his usual repertoire and becomes a tribute to the tradition of acoustic Piedmont and the whole east coast blues, also including Virginia, Georgia and North and South Carolina, a kind of music that became popular thanks to artists like Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, Blind Blake, Pink Anderson and the rest of the great historical names of that particular area A totally acoustic album where JJ Appleton shows all his amazing technique, both with Resonator guitar and playing fingerpickin’ style he deeply knows, as well as a passionate devoted singer On the other hand Jason Ricci displays all his knowledge, showing he is an accomplished harmonica player with a wide range of resources, notes, melodies and scales, but also gifted with an interesting voice Eleven songs that combine in a masterful didactical way the charm of the blues, the stomps field hollers, old time music, Cajun and Americana roots music
