Album Notes

Veteran blues guitarist Marv Ward grew up in the small town of Lorton, Virginia. He played his first gig at 10 and started performing professionally at age 16. He's played in literally dozens of bands over the past 45 years and has secured his place among bluesmen with his straight forward no-nonsense blues style. It's a little bit Delta, a little bit Piedmont, a whole lot of R&B, mostly, it's straight up Rev. Marv Ward. The Rev. has played hos original and visionary blues stylings in venues all over the country and has shared stages with music legends such as Aerosmith, Joan Baez, Dave Van Ronk, Paul Geremia, Maria Muldaur, Nappy Brown, John Hammond, Bob margolin, Big Bill Morganfield, Mac Arnold, Mooky Brill and many more. "Love Like You Never Been Burned" his latest CD, and "High Flying Bird" his early work only hint at the warmth and appeal of the veteren guitarist and his talented band. Expect sizzling Piedmont picking, Delta blues, greasy rags, and straight-ahead rocking urban blues from this South Carolina singer, songwriter, guitarist and poet.
