Erasing the gap between the 1930s and today, this striking North Carolina trio brings a modern sizzle to the legacy of classic African American string bands like the Mississippi Sheiks, with fiddles, banjos, and even kazoos sparking an electrifying ruckus. A raw take on Blu Cantrell's "Hit 'Em Up Style" unleashes scorched-earth sexual warfare, while toe-tapping versions of traditional tunes like "Cindy Gal" peel away nostalgia to reveal a bracing vitality. And the hints of violence in the sleepy original "Kissin' and Cussin'' will give any sensible person the willies.

Many thanks, Bandit, for so much good music and for taking the trouble doing the 320 quality copies. However, I have a favour to ask, namely I've been tracing the following cd issued on Document 32-20, called Yonder come the blues, so far without luck. It was a companion cd to blues historian's Paul Oliver's book on blues time travel from Africa to America. Maybe you can help. Thanks in advance.
