About the Album

This second album from the Colorado harmonica string band is a double album with the perfect blend of country blues, folk grass, singer songwriter soul, jazz and jam. With a fun, down-home feel, both relaxed and energetic, this music represents a maturing and an expansion of Mad Dog Blues’ trademark Colorado country blues sound.

This disc is full of country blues featuring delta blues, hokum, folk grass (like Doc Watson), and some Colorado-style Hill Country jamming.

"Mad Dog's traditional, acoustic blues harmonica playing on his song 'Shining Through'is a delight to hear."
~ Peter Madcat Ruth, Grammy Award-winning harmonica virtuoso
