About this product
Eden & John's East River String Band are a contemporary acoustic duo that play country/blues classics from the 1920s and 1930s. The band consists of Eden Brower on ukulele and vocals with John Heneghan on guitar and vocals, including special guest Terry Waldo (legendary ragtime piano player who has recorded and toured with Leon Redbone and Woody Allen). The duo try to keep alive the rural music tradition that existed before the Great Depression of the '30s, playing primarily country blues covers including classics by such greats as Skip James, Mississippi John Hurt, Lottie Kimbrough and Blind Lemon Jefferson. Here are some rave reviews InchSome Cold Rainy Day is by far one of the most enjoyable contemporary recordings of early pre-war blues music I have ever heard. Eden and John stay true to the original arrangements and vocals that these songs had when they were first released. I would call this a MUST-own for fans young and old of blues music and even those who want a modern introduction to the great old music of the 1920s and 1930s. PLEASE NOTE Crumb not only did the cover for this album; he loves the music on it, too. Crumb collectors know that he does very little commercial work now with his busy schedule and will only illustrate items he himself loves. What better endorsement is there than that?Inch -Ralph Deluca; InchEden and John do a fantastic job with their special renditions of great old blues songs! The guitar playing is great and Eden has just the right voice for most of the songs. It is a bit odd to hear a woman do Willie Brown's InchFuture Blues,Inch but Eden pulls it off in a way that grows on you with each listening. I am not much of a fan of modern day artists doing classic blues songs, but this is one CD that has found a home in my rotation.Inch

![Various Artists - The Albarika Story Vol. 1 (Various Artists) - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/0b95fa6a-1182-43ce-b02c-ea65404265d9.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Founded in the late 1960s by record store owner Seidou Adissa, Albarika Store is one of the most important independent record labels on the African continent. That it was founded in the relatively small ex-French colony of Benin (then still called Dahomey), is a testament to it's founder's musical taste and vision for what the local musical scene had to offer. Acid Jazz releases the first ever over-view of the tag and it's music, compiled by David Hill of The Soul Revivers and West African musical expert Florent Mazzoleni, who also wrote the in-depth notes. The compilation provides a look into what was a developing and then thriving post-colonial music scene. It focuses on the tag's biggest and most prolific act Orchestre Poly-Rhythmo and it's founder Melome Clement - who released under a variety of names often spotlighting on the musicians key to their sound. It also looks at the other established artists on the tag such as the incendiary Les Sympathics de Porto Novo and Les Volcans. All of these artists create a unique mix of Westernised Funk, Soul and Latin sounds cross-pollinated with the traditional music of the region. Elsewhere, we hear the music as it is consumed further by funk and disco, with tracks from the ultraobscure, and exceptionally danceable albums by Ipa Boogie and Ogassa.
