Jesse Cunningham
It's Tonkin' Time
(Self-issued)
Look who's come through the door - a cat with no particular claims to grandeur, save for estimable multi-instrumental aptitude and seemingly effortless, rural-fashion Tele virtuosity so profound that Charlie and Floyd's Cannonball nearly flew clean off Dead Man's Curve. Lyrics would be superfluous, given instrumentals' nothin'-fancy majesty. Flutter-finger fretism enjoys complement courtesy of drumming as precise as a Swiss timepiece, shrewd bass navigations, and steel guitar that knows its home-folks territory and carries on right proud.
(Jesse now adds serious flair to the Blast-O-Matics; their newest is reviewed below.)
