Good white blues

"Pat Donohue is a fine guitar player. Big Blind Bluesey is first rate work. Donohue isn't an edgy performer but is very smooth instead. Who'd have thought a guy from Minnesota could pick like that."
Great. Tradition lives on.

"Most people know Pat Donohue as the guitar picker on "A Prairie Home Companion." More significant is that he, along with Doc Watson and Ramblin' Jack Elliott, is one of the three finest and most important acoustic guitarists still living today. "Big Blind Bluesy" may be the most valuable of his CDs. In his singing and picking, you'll find the tradition of most of the great blues artists of the past carried on faithfully and gloriously. Above all, you might hear the spirit of Big Bill Broonzy alive and among us again today. This CD simply is a must for any serious fan of roots blues."
Great blues from an excellent musician.
