Everybody thinks I'm talking about a woman when I'm singing about a woman but it's not a woman all the time. When I talk about money, it's not money all the time." -Brownie McGhee
This album, from Dixiefrog Records, accurately portrays the spirit of the original Blues.
When you get to the bottom line, you can't help but notice that if Southern African-Americans are free today to discuss issues as touchy as servitude, sex and injustice, they still have every reason to sing the blues. More than ever in the early 21st century South, blues singing remains a way for them to cathartize their feelings of frustration int he face of a daily confrontation with unrequited love, prison, God and...whiskey. -Sebastian Danchin
