Josh Long Bottleneck Breakthrough,

This excellent video focuses primarily on Mississippi Delta bottleneck blues guitarists, and within that framework illustrates several different playing styles… The highlights of the video are the two numbers by Son House. 'Levee Camp Moan' is preceded by a short but hilarious lecture from House about the dangerous business of love. Both this clip and his 'Death Letter Blues' typify a Son House live performance - he begins each song with a soft-spoken introduction, then takes a deep breath, hunches over the guitar, and explodes into sound and fury.

Great blues rock trio to the young, just 20 "guitarslinger" Josh pilot from the Cincinnati area. Pilot is a highly gifted guitarist, strongly influenced by among others B.B. to conquer a place King and Walter Trout, which is preparing on the terrain of the Bonamassas & co.. With their excellent debut album, the troupe anyway, ever puts a real exclamation mark. "Price to pay" is best, played with a lot of steam and power blues rock, whose occasional references to classic guitar rock and Boogie 70's retro Rock ' n roll magnificently in the image fit. In addition to the already mentioned influences traces such sizes such as Rory Gallagher, key and free, but also by Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jeff Healey and ZZ accordingly top. The guys play wonderfully carefree and casual druaflos……

Guitar maestro Josh Smith has always been inventive in his work, but he goes the extra mile on this one by delivering the feel of one of his live performances even though this CD was recorded within the confines of his new Flat V Studios…

Josh Ritter's self-titled debut (recorded in 1999) has never been available for physical distribution. Therefore, this is an incredible opportunity for independent retail. In addition, the 22 upcoming U.S. shows are only a sketch of the visibility Josh will have in 2008. Josh's fanbase has only grown, as evidenced by his best selling release from last year - The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter. This is what Josh says about his self-titled debut: "This album was recorded during my senior year at Oberlin College. We worked in a tiny studio on campus, drank beer that I had just turned old enough to buy legally and began taking the first steps along the road I still walk today, eight years later. I'm still very proud of these songs and I hope you enjoy them".
