LONG "LOST & FOUND"

This Saint Louis neotraditionalist
learned from Homesick James in Chicago in the
70s and made quite a splash when he hit the blues
scene more than 25 years ago (in 1980 Muddy Waters
called him “the best young country blues
artist playing today”). But it’s taken
him till this winter to release his first album,
Lost & Found (Delta Groove), a mix-and-match
of pre- and postwar styles. Fortunately his versatility
and commitment haven’t been diminished by
the intervening years.
