    Valoración: GREAT

With a fine beauty, a delicate brightness but, over all, a genuine real deep south blues spirit, singer of lushy voice, guitar player and ukelele performer Del Rey, together with her partner Steve James at six and twelve strings guitars, slide, mandoline and vocals too, give us a precious honest album The cd is full of vitality, with beautiful guitar duets that will easily captivate listeners with its amazing sensitivity Steve and Del perform fourteen delicious songs, some own compositions and the rest old-time classic blues versions Both musicians have reached a level that allows them to give a damn about fashion and other modern musical ressources, to work on old genuine pre-war blues In this Tonight cd, both artists drive us on a wonderful trip, to the secret inner world of different musicians like Memphis Minnie Yank Rachell and Blind Willie McTell, or the ‘back-porch-blues, rags and old Piedmont blues in Georgia, Alabama or the Carolines All this huge baggage is carried with the original sound that perfectly reflects what the southern great musicians and masters used to play during last century twenties and thirties A seriously done piece of work that cleverly and respectfully perpetuates our old time heros
