I just received the new release from Brandon ' Yukon Slim" Isaak, Bluesman's Plea. The release is made up of 14 tracks all of which are self penned. I found the release enjoyable to listen to and overall lighthearted and upbeat. Isaak's liner notes indicate that the songs are true stories about love, life and death only the names have been changed to protect the innocent. OverallI found the release to be fingerpicking Piedmont style blues with roots in the blues and spirituals.
Brandons earlier career included a charteer member of the Twisters.
My favorite track is the offbeat A Little Wine.
Of special note is Brandon is donating $1.00 from each cd sale toward cancer research.
