Here comes a real bluesman, a blues musician who plays Mississippi downhome music and he does it from the most open clear and straight perspective, because he has soaked up and lived with blues from his early childhood Singer and guitarist Pat Thomas was born in Yazoo City, Mississippi forty-one years ago His father was the great James ‘Son’ Thomas, a real outstanding legend of rural blues in Leland, Mississippi When he was only ten years old, Pat was already playing with his father In fact they performed in practically all Mississippi blues and other surrounding states festivals, from Sunflower River Blues Festival to King Biscuit Festival In this album, Pat Thomas displays a collection of classic country and back porch blues, with his special, usual and tiresome way to keep the beat and strum guitar strings This is work of an old time bluesman, a great musician with an amazing warm originality, which becomes very difficult to find nowadays
