Album Notes

Nobody makes moonshine, works a cakewalk, chops wood or plays a harmonica like 70-something Neal Pattman. Losing an arm in a wagon wheel at the age of nine hasn't slowed him at all. 66 years ago the Blues knocked on my door and they wouldn't leave. His testimony can be heard in a sound and a style his daddy taught him as a child in the country outside Athens, Georgia.
