What can an old man do but sing the blues? asks Dr. Burt in the song that gave this album its name. The question has its merits, and the four artists presented on this CD confirm that unrequited love, poverty and injustice have lost none of their edge with time.
This beautifully compiled album/video features music from some of Music Maker's most experienced and passionate bluesmen. -Sebastian Danchin
