This album is up for a Blues Blast Music Award for Best Traditional Blues Album! This particular category has a lot of strong contenders, but I feel this particular album is such a powerful blues statement that it has a chance of winning! But that decision is up to the voters! You can vote your choice up until August 31 at bluesblastmagazine.com.
