NEW CD!

Deceiving Blues

This CD features legendary fingerstyle blues guitarist John Miller, tonemeister Grant Dermody on harmonica, and yours truly on mandolin, dobro, and rubboard. We all sing on this program of acoustic country blues recorded live in the studio in real time, no headphones, no "studio magic", just pure heartfelt blues played by guys who love it and know it. We're all very proud of the disc. Music critics would call this one "classic country blues by contemporary masters of the artform".

Woody Mann, John Cephas, and I did a gig as a trio in Las Vegas a few years ago and had so much fun we decided to record a bunch of the music we learned for the show.

Orville Johnson & Scott Weiskopf (Law)

Scott and I made this in 1996 when we were playing together a lot. He's got his own band now with CDs available as the Scott Law Band and I still have a few copies of this folk-funk-singer-songwriter opus left. We probably won't keep it in print so when they're gone, by golly, they're gone! Music critics would call this album "a collector's item".

1. Rich Man's Country, 2. These Lines, 3. The Sleeper, 4. Queen Victrola, 5. Blueprint for the Blues, 6. World Will Turn, 7. She's a Mystery, 8. Stranger in Me, 9. Instead of Me, 10. Wildwood Green

The Jo Miller & Laura Love Connection

This is the only disc I carry that isn't mine. I'm playing a lot of dobro, guitar, and mandolin, probably the most strictly bluegrass picking I have on disc. Jo and Laura sing all the tunes, mostly bluegrass standards, beautifully. Music critics would call this album "hauntingly sweet".
