J. Michael Hester - A Reason To Drink
J. Michael Hester - A Reason To Drink
Nu-Blues Classic!
This CD combines a rough delta blues
with a touch of hard rock that defines
the J. Michael Hester Band's raucous style.
From the roadhouse classic "Dust My Broom"
to the Southern rock original
"One Good Thing About Love", this is sure
to change the notion of "blues" forever!
Things kick off with the reso-shred, Van Halen-esq "Rondo Ala Dobro".
Searing, slide work played on a 7 string aluminum custom resonator!
Then the CD journeys to the delta, London and back down to Memphis.
If you love rocking slide guitar and shred harp playing,
you are going to love this one!

I really think this is what Elmore
was thinking when he wrote this song.
A tradition, delta approach to this
little known classic of heartbreak
and a love gone bad. |
