Reviews

The Byrd of Paradise
Reviewed 2007-08-28
A true "tribute" record, done in authentic fashion, with a combined blues experience of over 300 years. Teaming the cream of the crop of Austen, TX blues royalty. Gravel-road vocals, the deepest Texas blues guitar, the greatest living female blues singer in Texas and the foremost blues harmonica on the planet. Harmonica not heard since the heyday of Chicago blues.

1. Marchin, finger pickin', Jimmy Reed jump.
2. Laidback, lowdown lope
3. Midtempo marchin' Jimmy Reed anthem
4. Serious lope-in, midtempo male/female duet
5. Back in the alley - lowdown
6. Fat string stroll
7. Some of the deepest harp in 50 years
8. Southern blues ballad
9. Gravel-shout-lowdown Eddie Taylor
10. Tuff, tight two-beat
11. Loose & lowdown - oooooh shit!
12. A true tribute to the old sound - great acoustic harp.
