REVIEWS

Billtown Blues Associaton
author: Bill Wilson
More than once I have expressed the sheer elegance and beauty of the simple pairing of guitar and harmonica. Throughout the ages, Blues musicians have used this particular grouping. With the addition of electricity, harmonica remained an integral part of the music, somehow possessing an ability to reach straight to the soul. Harmonica can be much like the lonesome howl of a coyote in the darkness of the night or the whisper of a lover, longing to be reunited with that long lost loved one. Played properly, there is an emotional quality that cuts through the fog like a beacon. Tom Rosencrans and Nate Myers possess the ability to touch the soul. A homegrown unit, Tom & Nate have been part of Billtown's Blues scene for ages. Both exceptional vocalists and superior musicians, this duo has the ability to write their own tickets…if heard by the right people. A nice mix of covers and original tunes, Sit Back, Relax is an easy listen. This is one piece that will not soon be left on the shelf to gather dust. While Tom and Nate don't record together often, they will be here for ages to come. Their message, as old as time itself…Sit back and relax The duo get an assist from Gina Rosencrans on "Jesus On The Mainline" (vocals and hand claps) and from Kimbo Reichley on "Jesus On The Mainline" (vocals) and "Boogie Woogie Dance" (double bass). Sit Back, Relax deserves a slot on the shelf with the likes of Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Roy Rogers and Norton Buffalo, Chicken Wilson & Skeeter Hinton, Buddy Guy & Junior Wells and more. In other words, this one's a keeper! - Bill Wilson, February 2008
