about

A tribute to one of my foremost blues heroes, Furry Lewis. The first song is one I wrote in tribute to the man to perform on Beale St. during the IBC's. The other 2 selections were written by Mr. Lewis himself and are my interpretations.

I keep a cd of Furry in my car at all times and it helps to calm me down in case I get road rage or anxiety. It works, every time. Though I never met him, I feel like Furry has done so much for me and I wanted to do something for him, so I wrote him a song.
