Blues Matters Burnley Review

From the June/July issue of Blues Matters Magazine, one of our favorites, a review of the set we played at the Burnley National Blues Festival:

We headed upstairs to the auditorium in time for the main stage program, which began with the Son Henry Band. Son heralds from Alaska and is now living in Scotland from where he has recruited a powerful rhythm section. Together they have formed a unique sound, mainly down to Son's first choice of instrument; the lap steel guitar. The Blues they played were authentic stomping down and dirty and the slide threw in a different dynamic, at times having the force of a sledgehammer and at others a melodic subtlety. A couple of highlights were Muddy Waters 'I can't be satisfied' and a stunning rendition of 'Voodoo Chile'. We must get to see them again

Thanks Tony and Sue! Glad you enjoyed the set, and we'll cross paths again real soon....
