Brooks Williams lives up to his reputation (and more than that!) on his seventeenth CD as an acoustic and slide-guitarist/songwriter in seven songs of his own and five covers of Son House, Mississippi John Hurt en Duke Ellington’s I Got It Bad o.a.
He plays intimately, serving the songs, plays sensitive solos and sings with a free timing. Because of that Baby O! proves to be a late discovery.
