I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

Feels Like Home - Barrelhouse - New Release Review
I just received the new release, Feels Like Home from Barrelhouse. The release opens with the title track, Feels Like Going Home, a finger picked blues style number with vocal harmonies. You Never Listen, played on Dobro in C Minor6 tuning has a quick pace and finger picking and slide work accompanying Burke on vocal. The Cadillac tells a cool little story in the style of the Appalachians but with a delta twist again using vocal harmonies. Day At The Beach has a very rudimentary style and one of the best tracks on the release. Bridge To Cross has some intricate picking in the style of Kottke. Eventually You'll Jump is a faster paced number with Burke's fingers pushing the pace. Nowhere In Sight keeps a solid middle ground in rural acoustic music. The instrumental Maine In October, has a very light and breezy feel to it played much in the upper octave of the guitar. Business As Usual is an acoustic boogie with vocal harmonies. A pretty cool track. The Only One is a well composed track with a bit of commercial hook. and vocal harmonies. Sloppy is a fast paced slide number and Barrelhouse keeps that bass rhythm going under the track as he sings. This is a quiet acoustic rural country/blues recording with lots of finger picking. Sit back and enjoy!
