This series has been a variation on the Pandora's Box theme for me. I have yet to be disappointed by any of the nominated albums I have received. In the case of Musselwhite, Watermelon Slim, and Nick Moss (you will be hearing about Nick Moss soon), I have become a fan. So, what's the catch? Each time I receive another nominated album, my job as a voter gets just a little more difficult. It is a rewarding problem to have.

Nice review! I dug Delta Hardware too, fine gritty album. I actually interviewed Musselwhite this past summer - he was a real gent, very cool to talk to.

ya, Musselwhite's great isn't he? i think i only have one of his discs (and can't even remember what it is) but every time i listen to it i get the "hey, i need more of this stuff" thing goin' on.
nice review dj.

Thanks, Saleski and Nik.
I liked this album so much I did wind up going out and buying Sanctuary. This was a cool discovery.
