Floyd Lee - 2003 - Ain't Doin' Nothin' Wrong [320]

Veteran Harlem bluesman Lee (he's almost 70) has just released his second CD. It's a little like the Fred James projects out of Nashville except this time the sensitive producer/guitarist is Joel Poluck. The result is pretty much the same too: an excellent but long overdue recording for a very deserving musician. He's in fine, raspy voice and occasionally straps on his own guitar. He writes and performs in a traditional style and some of the songs are not all that original but some are very good indeed: "Red Sun", with its Hill Country sound or the anti-drug lyrics of "Crack Alley" to name but two.
