Acoustic blues continues to thrive. There are a few good examples of this right here in the Puget Sound area. Hobson is one of these. His voice is a bit like Bob Dylan though geared a little higher. His choice of material includes tunes by Skip James, John Hurt and Son House, as well as traditional numbers. He also writes a bit and does so quite well. The title tune is one of his and it's a good one. Another one of his is "Bury Me Standing," which is played with an abrasive slide. He also does well on "Hard Times," a tune attributed to Steven Foster. JD is still a young guy so we can look forward to having him around for a good long while..... and that's a good thing.
