Steve James, a favorite on the contemporary acoustic blues circuit, teaches five pieces: "Sugar Babe," an alternating bass arrangement by Mance Lipscomb; the Delta styled "Wet Laundry Blues" with its rhythmic feels, walking basses, and country blues licks; "Buddy Bolden's Blues" a classic jazz/blues that uses some funky New Orleans-style chords. Plus "Stack Lee's Blues," in open G played bottleneck and the showstopper "Hot Time On The Old Town Tonight." Tab included as either booklet or PDF file on the disc. 80 min.
