A SUMMARY OF WHAT CAN BE EXPECTED FROM THIS ARTIST:

The uniquely powerful and soulful voice of Little Wolf on the blues songs makes BB King sound like a shy kitten.

The lap steel of Freddie Roulette -- one of the all-time recognized masters of the steel guitar -- swims through a gorgeous harmonic backdrop. This work by Roulette stands out and cannot previously be heard on any of his solo albums. "Some of Freddie Roulette's most memorable performances were done with Daphne Blue." In a 2006 Times interview, Roulette described his work as: 'Ethereal Rock & ethereal blues ... it's one heck of a combination ... it's a psychological explosion that surprises audiences, and they like to hear it.'

The scratchy and soulful voice of Carlos Guitarlos (from the Tom Waits Band) will makes you feel like staying at home on a rainy day and watching an old black and white film -- he captures this mood as well Louis Armstrong ever did.

Ray Bronner is the bedrock of this band -- a versatile and unique multi-instrumentalist trained by original Chicago blues musicians, and Tuck Andress (Tuck & Patti). His songwriting, electric-&-acoustic guitar work, bass playing, and production are unique, poetic, classic and show why he is repeatedly asked to work with some of the greatest musicians in the industry.
