Mr. Willis, just taking another min to praise you and your gift. I am a player too but never captured this frame of historical blues as I wished in my early days. I also like your connection to the artists who inspire you. I know this is one great time for you to be promoting Columbus Ga in the presentation of the Ma Rainey movie. My great Grandmother knew her and Bessie Smith. My Great Grands grew up in Rome where Ma and Bessie assisted her in leaving because her mother passed away giving birth and her aunts were mean to her due to her mixed race, black and Cherokee Indian. I learned all of these songs and names of the artists because of her and if you are not booking interviews and redirecting light on your art at this time......I think you should at least consider it. You can tell I am old because I am actually hoping you read this stuff.......lol bless my old ass heart.
Just heard this for the first time this morning (my friend Jean Labaye posted this on Facebook). He is the real deal and one of the greatest talents in have heard in years. I hope to hear him live someday.
He must have gotten the secrets of delta blues first hand from some very old blues man. And the joyfull lyrics instead of "my baby left me". What a relief! The old blues is being saved from the curse of constant crying over life hardships.

Great playing, great singing with all the essence of true blues. Wonderful.

I think he grew up in it, and he's a Piedmont player not Delta.

An old soul recognizes another old soul. Just saying. Keep up "the good work". Keep the hellhounds at bay!!
