The best kept secret in music
Press
I enjoyed Jim tatum's review of the Carolina Downhome Blues Festival, but I can't believe he ignored one of the better venues. Rusty Davis and Friends was one of the top three.
Jon Bolin, who also played at Rusty's was superb. As one fellow next to me kept saying over nad over, "He's got the gift!" Jon's finger picking is to die for. - Nick Trice
