In a World Gone Mad with War, 70 Year Old Blues Singer
Big Shanty asks "When Will We Ever Learn?"

Big Shanty reacts to an insane world by entering the realm of self-creation and unflinchingly describes its drama, madness, isolation, and identity.

Big Shanty's "Ride With The Wind" voted "The Number One Blues Album in "Real Blues" magazine 2007 and nominated "Best Blues Song" and "Best New Artist" by "Blues Critic".

Brilliant!!

[TaoCurry]

I'd like to hear more of this kind of blues: innovative, with social commentary, and respect for the roots. I've been playing the blues for 40 years. And, it's the perfect idiom for expressing how you feel about oppresion and injustice...yet few use it for that. Thanks Big Shanty. May your tribe increase.
