2000 - Raised By Wolves
Raw blues mixed with gospel, rockabilly, and New Orleans rhythms, you'll begin to get an idea of the richness offered here. The combination of a fertile and full sound quality with a wide variety of musical styles makes for a disc that never gets dull his is a disc that was made to express the appreciation that Colin Linden, along with the musicians whom he has assembled, feels for this music.
