Good old Richard Ray Farrell drives us to deep blues roots with an album full of remarkable dark versions of some of best pre-war and post-war bluesmen, like Blind Lemon Jefferson, Big Bill Broonzy, Robert Johnson, Blind Boy Fuller, Memphis Slim or Lowell Fulson among others Only with his voice, his acoustic guitar and harmonica, Richard displays his songs with great taste, passion and looseness The first cut is a terrific version of Bo Carter’s Let’s Get Drunk Again, the best one I have heard till now with the exception of Sam Chatmon’s one -a musician I have always admired and venerated-, and the original one coming from his stepbrother Bo Carter Richard Ray Farrell recorded this album during a show at Cambayá Club in November 2011 This is the eleventh album of his career and old blues lovers will really enjoy such a genuine record that goes straight to the heart, done by a musician who deeply loves Spain called Richard Ray Farrell
