Paul Oscher/ Down in the Delta release date July 12th, 2005. This is certainly a record for fans of elemental blues. Harmonica virtuoso Paul Oscher is a veteran of the Muddy Waters Blues band, and the album is reminiscent of Water's formative Mississippi blues.

His uncomplicated approach yields a deep satisfying blues experience. Oscher takes on some classic blues tunes, including W.C. Handy's "St. Louis Blues,"Robert Johnson's "32-20 Blues" and Robert Lockwood Jr.'s "Take a Little Walk," He offers four originals, one of which is the top-notch slow burner "So Lonesome."
