In every corner of the planet people know the Blues.”…

“JB Hutto said, "Blues will be blues until the end of the world". He was right. Look at Jimmy Reed and the spectrum of emotions he takes you through with a simpler but greatly effective technique. He can do more with less. It is harder to do more with less, but when it reaches the soul and move a person, you know that the artist is hitting his mark.”…
