Take a Look at the Artist’s Notes for “Blue Future” Right Here

The blues is traditional music. Traditional music is about roots and blooms, and this record is one of the blooms.

This is not a traditional blues harmonica record, though I have certainly drunk from the deep well of blues harp history for some of the sounds here. Iâ€™ve also used modern, stage-ready technologies in these performances to put the harmonica in a wide range of new roles within the sonic territory occupied by a blues band. On these tracks you will hear deep layers of harmonica tones that growl, squawk, howl, and pulse with the sound of breath electrified. Itâ€™s the sound of a blue future, with 21st century tones and lyrics, blooming from the roots of the blue past and present.

Like it or hate it, probably for the same reasons, but I know for sure that you have never heard anything like it.
