"I'm just shifting the balances for this one," he says. I've always wanted to record and tour a blues project. That's where I started as a guitarist and I'm feeling that music more than ever of late. I launched a personal search for musical inspiration beyond the standard 12 bar blues and found it in "old time gospel" music - the closest relative to and inspiration for the R& B that we all love. I've always treasured Gospel but never really dug deep into it. My search led to countless songs that really move me. It's really powerful stuff. Of course, it will be Gospel do
ne my way - all the arrangements are mine"

Agreed, I saw them in New Orleans and I was in a state of awe the whole time

I saw Sco in the 90's. He was great and the band was great then too. He's a jazz guy with great taste in groove players He gets guys who can groove as opposed to a lot of 'smooth jazz' where the track is so watered down. Thanks for posting.
