Review: 

This tribute album is unlike many others. Canuck musician/songwriter Steve Dawson (of Zubot and Dawson) decided to honour the music of a blues combo that only existed in the early 1930s in the Southern U.S. The 17 tracks here are well-conceived and wonderfully charming. Dawson figures on many of the tracks and his skill at guitar (especially slide guitar) is superb. You don't usually find artists as disparate as John Hammond, Oh Susanna, Madeleine Peyroux and Danny Barnes sitting at the same musical table, but here they are, each creating their own magical piece of musical art. Get this album while you can.
