Honey, Where You Been So Long?

Honey, Where You Been So Long?: "Willard “Ramblin” Thomas is one of the more under appreciated bottleneck slide guitar players in pre-war blues. He has a very clean style that reminds me a lot of Lonnie Johnson and a deliver that Robert Johnson had to been influenced by. The first track is a Texas Blues version of a typical Piedmont Blues style party song - Shake It Gal, which basically means it’s slowed down a whole lot a trend that seems to exist today with Houston’s chopped and screwed remix scene. The next track Groundhog Blues shows off Thomas’ guitar playing skills more and features a more typical lyrical approach to the Texas Blues than Shake It Gal.
