Originally inspired to take up playing the blues in our teens, we've both been playing ever since - in bands, jams, solo, duos - and sometimes just the two of us together. Living at opposite ends of the country, we don't get to play together as often as we'd like, but when we do, the result is the kind of thing you hear on this album - a mixture of old favourites and new discoveries. It's also a homage to the men and women who first shaped the blues, and a journey through the country blues, vaudeville and jug band music of the 1920s and 1930s, to the post World War 2, electric blues of Chicago.
Recorded in a single session, and mostly in single takes (with some overdubbing for additional vocals and jug), we set out to capture the spirit of one of our live sets, meeting the blues like an old friend - but one full of surprises.
