Description

Eisinger is one of the most dazzling country blues and ragtime guitarists playing today. Listen to his astonishing performances of the music of Blind Blake and you will hear things no guitar player has managed to pull off since Blake himself disappeared in the early 1930s. He has a remarkable way with the blues of the 1920s and ’30s and is able to shift effortlessly from complex East Coast ragtime to the propulsive rhythm of the guitar evangelists to down-home Texas country blues. Includes: “Jesus Gonna Make Up My Dying Bed,” “Southern Rag,” “Blues in E (improvisation),” “Frankie,” “Drunken Barrel House Blues,” “When The Levee Breaks,” “Hunkie Tunkie Blues,” “Match Box Blues,” “Piney Woods Money Mama,” more. 90 min.
