New Single “Wasted Effort” from the upcoming album “Who’s That Snitch” is out!
" You have lost it all. Your love, your dreams, your money. Even your health has suffered a major blow. All you have left is your experience. Bitter and sweet, but at this moment mainly bitter. What do you do? You either lay down or die, or you search yourself for some inspiration to start all over again. Hope is no longer green though."

NEW SINGLE IS OUT TODAY!
I’m very happy to announce that the new single '' Who's that snitch? '' from the upcoming album with my partner in crime, @bigcreekslim is out today!
Recorded some time ago in Denmark, live in the studio and featuring all original tunes, the album carries the spirit of traditional Blues through its many styles and landscapes.
From the Delta to Chicago, passing through Memphis and St. Louis, all with our own touch, without ever losing the tradition.
As usual, Big Creek delivers an insane performance on vocals and guitar, full of energy on this track, and yours truly is kicking the washtub!
Hope you enjoy it!
Available on all streaming platforms!

Thanks to @straightshooterblues for putting this out!
" It’s about that moment when someone close to you betrays you - hard - and you can’t prove who did it. Suddenly you start looking over your shoulder. You suspect everyone. The Blues hits in a different way. Not just hurt - but anger. The urge to strike back… without knowing where to aim. Sometimes the only thing you can do is clean house. Tighten your circle. Cut ties that don’t sit right anymore."

It never gets old being in the presence of the legend himself, Buddy Guy. Always an honor and a true inspiration.

Happy to finally put this one out!
It means a lot to still believe in making records and making a living playing this music in times like these. I’m really happy to share that the new album “Who’s That Snitch?”, the third album in collaboration with my partner in crime @bigcreekslim , is now out and streaming everywhere.
We recorded this a few years back in Denmark at the tail end of a long run across Europe, all original tunes, cut live in one take, nothing fancy but a lot of feeling and honesty so step away from the noise and craziness for a minute and take a listen to slow things down a bit.
We’ll be putting together a crowdfunding campaign soon to press it on vinyl, and any support to help make that happen truly means a lot.
Also thanks to @straightshooter records for putting this together and the endless support.
Hope you enjoy it!

Pleasure to have another single released with the great @bigcreekslim
Don't Put Your Burden On One Woman
"Another tune from my coming album "Who's That Snitch?", recorded with my Brother and World Champion bass player Rodrigo Mantovani. This whole album he is playing a washtub bass though.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket - don't put your burdon on one woman.
Don't start believing that one woman can save you from yourself. If you ain't got yourself strait, why would you trust any woman to straighten you out?
You may think she will save your life, and one day she may say you ruined hers.
She's only human too."
