Bud & Travis - How Long How Long Blues Gimme Some

Review by Bec Sutherland

Bud & Travis' album, "How Long How Long Blues Gimme Some," is a remarkable blend of folk, blues, and country music. The duo's exceptional harmonies and skilled guitar playing are on full display in this 12-track album.

The album opens with the title track, "How Long How Long Blues," a classic blues tune that showcases the duo's ability to capture the essence of the genre. The album also features covers of popular songs like "Green, Green," and "This Train," which are given new life with Bud & Travis' unique interpretation.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Whistling Gypsy," a traditional Irish folk song that is beautifully arranged with acoustic guitar and harmonica. The duo's rendition of "Hangman" is also noteworthy, with its eerie melody and haunting lyrics.

Bud & Travis' original compositions are equally impressive, with "Reuben James" being a standout track. The song tells the story of a man who is falsely accused of a crime and sentenced to death. The duo's harmonies and guitar playing perfectly capture the emotion of the song.

Summary by Bec Sutherland

"How Long How Long Blues Gimme Some" is a must-listen for fans of folk, blues, and country music. Bud & Travis' exceptional musicianship and unique style make this album a timeless classic.
