Jason Ricci is an amazing innovator of the blues harmonica and "Approved By Snakes" is his first release as band leader in seven years. This is an intensely intimate, soul-baring album. Much more than a simple reed-bender, Ricci - a 2010 Blues Music Award winner for harmonica player of the year and a six-time nominee - is a performance artist of the first order who treads fearlessly in areas that most human beings run from. A master and innovator in the over-blow technique of harp play, he gets more notes out of a simple diatonic than all but a few of his peers. And his use of electronics produces tonalities that are over the top. Innovative stuff ... definitely.
