What the world has been waiting for! The sensation that is Rotten Belly Blues. 13 tracks of uncompromising originality produced by Bobby Gentilo at Right Coast Recording. Songs of honesty, absolution, purchased passions, greed and love gone wrong. Here are wrestling resonator guitars, spooky electric, barrel-house piano, thumping drums, dual bassists, rowdy choirs, boozy slide, rollicking horns....from full-tilt rocking blues to stripped down and chilling acoustic tunes. It's all here.
BLUES FOR THE 21st CENTURY.
