I called this album “Ghosts of the Riverside Hotel” because the spirits of those who passed through those doors are still there, they can be felt. Those blues greats have made my life so much better through their music, and I hope to honor them with this record. As with my past record, this one was made possible through Jeff Jensen’s considerable talents as a musician, manager, and thoughtful producer. Jeff’s band, with longtime bass playing buddy Bill Ruffino and drummer Robinson Bridgeforth, were the musical backbone of this record, and we were joined by Chris Stephenson on the B3 organ to round it out. What a team to start with! We were joined by large group of amazingly talented friends to finish the songs.The songs on this album were chosen with love, and cover a wide range of blues styles. There are four covers and eight originals, recoding them was a wonderful experience – I hope you enjoy them.As with my previous CD, the proceeds from the sales of Ghosts of the Riverside Hotel will go to the Blues Foundation to be used to for the HART Fund and Generation Blues
