Still Bluesy after all these years

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Dave Snaker Ray has done it again with this CD - a full thirty plus years after his first album with Spider John Koerner and Tony Little Son Glover. While some of his more recent work has been with electric blues bands, this CD gets back to his original chops - country blues played well and sung well. His use of the six string and twelve string guitars continues to amaze, and his vocal strength and purity for the genre has not diminished at all over the years. Sitting on Top of the World is one of the best tracks to listen to through Amazon, and If It Looks Like Jelly rates all ten stars of the five star rating system. When he was starting out, all the old blues innovators were being rediscovered, and it is high time we celebrate his take on a rich American tradition."
