Something about Guitar Red reminds me of another Georgia blues man: Blind Willie McTell. I think more than anything it's the way Red picks his guitar. He gets an incredibly clean sound.

"Three Legged Dog Blues" is a lowdown blues tune that wouldn't sound out of place on a back porch anywhere. "My old lady treats me like a three-legged dog." Now, that is the blues.

What is even more astounding about Guitar Red is that he has long been a street musician in Decatur, Georgia. He is an incredibly talented musician. He also plays the clavinet on the title track. You don't need to listen to much of the album to know that the blues comes from deep inside Guitar Red.
