Who would be more suitable to interpret good old country blues than a historian? Baby Boy Varhama, a school history teacher, and his band sat down at a country house, picked a bunch of golden oldies, and let the tape roll. You've heard these songs (Johnson, Patton, Estes, you know the drill) before, but the group adds a unique, North European touch. "We make the songs our own while trying to preserve the original idea", Varhama says. Varhama continues, "I understand that tribute albums are songs from one author. This CD is made up of songs from different artists; this is not a tribute disc at all. We've done songs in different versions, still trying to keep the core alive."
