This freat mid-price re-issue sessions that date from 1957-1959.

Bob Margolin's self-titled album reveals the latest from the 2017 Blues Music Award winner for Best Male Traditional Blues Artist. Six new original songs are his Blues for today?s world. He also interprets nine songs he learned ?back in the day? from his legendary friends Muddy Waters, The Band, Johnny Winter, Jimmy Rogers, Snooky Pryor, Pinetop Perkins and James Cotton. His new versions of their songs are from experience with them, more than just covering songs he likes. Feeling their spirits around him, Bob played and sang every note, produced, recorded and mixed this album. Bob explains ?My album is self-titled because this album and I are my blessings, my challenges, my history and my future. I want to share them in harmony with you. Were still steady rollin.

Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin really comes into his own with My Blues and My Guitar. He still pays homage to his mentor, Muddy Waters, not only through covers but simply through his driving musical style. He blends the familiar (InchRip It Up,Inch InchGoing Home,Inch InchThe Same ThingInch) with unpredictable (InchSee Me in the Evening,Inch InchDrip Drop,Inch InchPeace of MindInch) in his choice of covers, and he has written a set of originals that are sturdy and memorable.
