In this, the 12th outing for Robert Connely Farr(RCF) he takes us back to the hill country of Northern Mississippi and plants us firmly down on the front porch of the Blue Front cafe.
Mentored by such luminaries of Hill Country Blues as Jimmy Duck Holmes, Terry Harmonica Bean and R.L. Boyce, Robert Connely Farr keeps the tradition alive and healthy.
The Album is in fact dedicated to one his mentors R.L. Boyce. The shining stars of this album are the originals, created organically, just sitting down to play and seeing what evolved. The almost hypnotic grooves laid down by Farr sound like he is channeling another Hill Country legend, Junior Kimbrough, and his gravelly vocals are perfectly suited to the trancelike rhythms he weaves throughout this gem.
Thirteen tracks on this album and not one bad one out of the bunch. With Christmas coming up this album is the stocking stuffer that will put a smile on any blues lovers face.
