Description
Acclaimed producer/blues musician Colin Linden has said that Paul Reddick is *"one of the most original and inventive singer-songwriters in blues today." His work has been influenced by such poets as Kenneth Rexroth and William Carlos Williams,* as well as the music of Sleepy John Estes,* Fred McDowell,* Harry Smith's Anthology of Folk Music,* and the Alan Lomax Field Recordings. Paul Reddick's deceptively simple songs weave a hypnotic spell; he is a gifted and charismatic performer. His effortless harmonica playing and vocals search deep into the heart of the song. In 2002,* Paul received a W.C. Handy Award nomination for *"Rattlebag",* which broke new ground in blues by incorporating a variety of new sounds and structures into the traditions of pre-war blues and in the process created something stunningly original. This time around,* Paul Reddick is back with another unique look at pre-war blues and Americana; forging yet another new style. Backed by an all-star band,* Paul takes a somewhat rootsy approach with a more acoustic instrumentation,* though with plenty of Colin Linden's trademark production genius. Rave reviews keep pouring in,* award nominations are anticipated!
