The blues! But then more of a 'pre-war field holler blues' + injections of calypso, vaudeville, ragtime, hillbilly, jazz, folklore... jungle epics...

C.W. Stoneking is an extremely credible and hyper-talented Australian. Cristopher William in full, apparently. Always with that striking voice. Mostly with his remarkable National Reso-phonic guitar and tenor banjo. This time too, 'and his Primitive Horn Orchestra.' This time with a 'shiny gold Fender'!?

Oh, and we also expect a successor to his more recent, much-discussed King Hokum and Jungle Blues albums. But after previous visits to Botanique, Cactus, Riverienhof, even ABflex in February 2012, C.W. Stoneking certainly has a solid live-following here too.

For those who honour their roots: impressive, humorous & convincing!
