Curator’s Notes:   Opens with three songs that are outside the sometimes rigid box of The Blues.  This is how we discover new, right?  The first song “One More Thing” is haunting.  The remainder is a solid mix of the new and those that have brought it for years.  Mr. Bishop – always good to hear from you!

What are you listening to that we should be featuring?  Enjoy.
