earlier this year I went home to Mississippi to be with my father for a few months as he passed away from leukemia. these are the songs that carried me through. nothing fancy - me & a resonator on the land that's been in my family since the mid-1820's - a few miles south of the edge of the delta between Edwards & Bentonia off of Highway 22
I decided against a bunch of mixing & editing - I think there is beauty in the realness of life - it's pain & inconsistencies .
I hope you enjoy these recording - more like field recordings I guess...
thank you for supporting what we do
