    Valoración: VERY GOOD

The new work of a young thirty-five years old man called John-Alex Mason is a true genuine tribute to the music, both sacred and profane, of those prewar troubadours and legendary bluesmen of twentieth century, who developed the purest rural blues and left a deep step in the history of Afroamerican popular music In this work, John-Alex collects and, in his turn, he sows the seeds of musicians like Mississippi John Hurt and Robert Johnson, but he also brings his own ideas along the whole album, with own songs full of his unique personality, though close to the rich genuine traces of those creators he deeply respects and admires with passion and devotion Eleven semiacoustic songs recorded in a couple of days in his native Colorado state
