Here comes the second piece of work of this musician called Randy Kaplan who has nothing to do with legendary piano player Fred Kaplan, well known as member of the mythical Hollywood Fats Band Once said that, tell you Randy Kaplan is an American singer and guitar player whose mission is to recuperate the repertoire of the blues heroes who created a school and were part of the history and rich heritage of the blues The musicians involved in this pleasant and long disc -in fact it includes twenty-four songs- are Randy Kaplan acoustic guitar, harmonica and vocals, Katie Eulis bass, Mike West mandolin, tenor banjo, five string banjo and bottleneck guitar, Colin Mahone drums and percussion, Bradford Hopes piano, Chris Leopold trumpet, Tom Johnson, trombone, Ed Judd tuba and some guest names of minor relevance This is a suggestive totally didactic album, because it may remind us a master-class of traditional blues Among the chosen cuts you will find versions of songs coming from Jimmie Rodgers, Sonny Boy Williamson, Robert Johnson, Blind Blake, Blind Willie Johnson, Papa Charlie Jackson, Bessie Smith, Jim Jackson, Hambone Willie Newborn, Blind Boy Fuller and Elizabeth Cotten among others
