Sammy Kershaw

Cross Road Blues

(Cleopatra / Goldenlane)



Mr. Kershaw shines. With his strapping, weathered delivery and the accompaniment of always flabbergasting fretboard prestidigitator Danny B. Harvey (who also produced and plays organ), Country icon Sammy cracks the American Blues Songbook and reinterprets classics of boundless majesty. He reveals an adeptness at the genre that will further embellish his artistic reputation. Covers of Albert King, Johnny Winter, Robert Johnson, Otis Rush, and Little Walter are but some of the grand moments embraced by a man clearly of music.

Recommended: "Born Under a Bad Sign," "I Can't Quit You Baby," "Be Careful With a Fool," "If I Had Any Pride Left At All," "Going Down," "On the Road Again," "Crossroads," "My Babe," "Blues Man"

Video: "Going Down"
