CD Reviews

(4 out of 5 stars)

"W.C. Spencer is one of those very rare Blues artists who prefers to go it alone, but have a full complement of instruments to work with. On this his first recording, Spencer plays guitar, harmonica, drums, bass and sings and the results are as good as any fully manned band. This CD contains a good selection of standard Blues songs by the great masters as well as a few by Spencer himself. His musicianship is impeccable, especially the guitar and harmonica.This CD is definitely worth a good listening."
