Just saw this guy at the Brooklyn Folk Fest. He was amazing. Great album of classic blues songs.
Willie Watson was one of the founding members of Old Crow Medicine Show, a group he left a couple years ago. And where OCMS is still doing the up-tempo busking numbers, Watson's solo record is more low key. This collection of traditional tunes is like listening to a guy playing on his porch, and it's simply wonderful.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
