A fine guitarist who is blues-based but does not stick exclusively to the blues,
Skip Heller teams up on this set with two excellent musicians from Alabama: organist
Chris Spies and drummer David White. Although
Heller's set of originals pays tribute to
Pete Seeger and
the Weavers,
Dave Alvin of
the Blasters, guitarist
Emily Remler,
Heller's wife, and
Johnny "Guitar" Watson, among others, this is an instrumental program and not necessarily in anyone else's style. The music is swinging without being predictable and always holds one's interest. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
