Few artists manage to capture old Piedmont blues with a so exquisite taste and a polished full of nuances technique like singer and guitar player Steve Howell, a true master of fingerpickin’ guitar playing and, in these particular recording, well supported by bass player Jason Weinheimer, who also is responsible of all mixing, mastering and final production It was in 1965 and still very young when Steve heard for the first time Mississippi John Hurt and he was totally fascinated by this old bluesman, so he went deeper in the knowledge of his style but he also began to study the technique of other pre-war blues guitarists like Blind Willie McTell, Leadbelly, Robert Johnson, Son House, Reverend Gary Davis, Blind Willie Johnson or Blind Blake Lateer on he was also interested on those big bands where horns had a capital importance in the sound and arrangements, hot jazz and New Orleans music Today Steve Howell is an expert in all these styles although, this time, he gives us a good handful of poetical intimistic songs, all them following a beautiful folk-blues line
