Willie May is a legendary bluesman who plays his blues along countless clubs and bars May has played with big names like Alvin Lee, Johnny and Edgar Winter brothers, Derek Trucks, Buddy Guy or James Cotton In the seventeen albums he has recorded over the years, he has always been backed by renowned and prestigious great artists, something that proves Willie May’s quality and virtues Now he comes back with a new recording including twelve songs where the ukulele takes the main role, along a varied colourful showcase of different styles, all them belonging to what we could define as roots music The optimism and good mood but also the sadness and regret Willie May communicates along the whole album go hand in hand with a simple and humble display which, at the same time, show a complete honesty, something that becomes common in his long career Willie May plays ukulele, guitar, bass, kalimba and ocarina and he also sings all tracks You will also find some punctual collaboration of musicians like Evan Laedke, Mark Panfil, Randy Bolman and Dwane Hall in some tracks
