Good, but not his best...

"Rusty Zinn marks a genereation of younger traditional-blues guitarists. Together with guitarists like Kid Ramos, Rick Holmstrom, Teddy Morgan, he is one of the best bringing old-time music with a powerful freshness, showing he is a very fine musician. This CD is more towards Texas-blues, than his other two fine cd's, it sounds less original and retro. But still we are talking about a class CD. The thing about Rusty I like very much are his vocals. He has a high, bluesy complaintive voice. His guitarwork on this CD maybe not surprising or totally new, it is still a good piece of work."

He gets better and better

"Rusty's latest Cd is similar to his other two but with a more bluesy take. I have Sittin and Waiting which is fun and more of a Cailfornia swing sound. I think the best is yet to come here. Some of the songs seem a bit similar to others but it all works due to Rusty's fine vocals and guitar, and yes his vocals are getting better each time. He tells a good tale on the tune Dying on the Vine, a soulful melody. Can't sit still when he belts out She's Got Style. I think the next Cd Rusty does he will be even better than ever. Watch for this bluesman, he is gonna be big stuff!"
