From the artist's notes on Roadhouse Blues, we find that the songs were selected for the recording by polling audience fans, leading to a very listenable collection of acoustic Piedmont and Delta blues favorites that many of us remember growing up hearing our parents sing. Opening the album is Robert Johnson's classic Crossroads Blues performed on Delta slide guitar. Says David Eisner, owner of the House of Musical Traditions, "I really like this album. It is very true to genre". In fact, one would think they had received the sound track from the recent Martin Scorsese PBS series from the stylistic accuracy of the renditions. The album is equally balanced with Piedmont fingerstyle and Delta numbers. Rob Book Binder's tribute song "Blind Lemon" is a scorching fingerstyle romp accompanied with old time washboard percussion that will get one up to "buck" dance. Country blues influences are faithfully captured with fiddle, harmonica and bass on Doc Watson's classic "Deep River Blues" and Blind Willie McTell's "Statesboro Blues". Kaminsky's early Chicago upbringing listening to Muddy Waters conjures up a smoky West side honky tonk on Willie Dixon's hit Chess Records recording "Hoochie Coochie Man". Skip James' "Devil Got My Woman" is particularly well performed and has a harmonica accompaniment that should be cited in Harmonica Magazine. There is a tip of the hat to Dave Von Ronk with "Green, Green Rocky Road" who passed away while Kaminsky was recording the album and who he lists as an influence. Like Kaminsky's other recordings, the cast of supporting performers are dead on musically and introduced without overpowering the base guitar and vocal parts. The final number finds a new look at the Stephen Foster classic "Hard Times Come Again No More", performed like an old time spirtual that will take you to a small country church in the Delta. It looks like other awards will be coming soon for this artist.
