Artist description It was my goal to produce this recording of my music in the exact way I perform it live. I was able to record it my way which was something I had been waiting to do for some time. It is with great respect that I play and sing in the tradition of the blues masters. My original compositions are indicative of some of the styles I have enjoyed playing over the years. I will consider this project sucessful if you hear something new each time you listen to it.

Musical Influences Robert Johnson, Jelly Roll Morton, John Fahey

Instruments 6 & 12 String Guitars, Dobro, Harmonica and Vocals

Press Reviews Jim Perrett's journey into the traditional waters of blues imbues him with a sense of respect that has helped him with those amazing 12-string tracks of his own. The title track glides cadentiously towards wholesomeness of melody. "Dance of the Purse Snatcher" may be the closest thing to an American blues jig." JOSE ARCHILA, GEOCITIES, GUATEMALA, CENTRAL AMERICA ". . . a fine, tasteful guitar player . . . I especially liked his feel for what to put in and what to leave out of a blues tune . . . the music has a sensitivity that appealed to me strongly . . a real talent."
