Block is a great player. what a strange experience (for me anyway) to see her play live. i mean, here's this more than just a little bit attractive woman, one you wouldn't be surprised to see in a swanky martini bar...who sits down and tears up some grizzled country blues.

Well done, Pico. I didn't get to hear this record so I wound up not voting in this category. Her BMA win and your enthusiasm for it has me adding it to my wishlist.
