The Kerry Kearney Band - A Night in the Tropics - 2006 - Dwaz Entertainment

A very good album from a great modern blues band. There are eight great Delta roots blues style tracks here, with three Kerry Kearney originals and also great covers of songs by Dylan, Robert Johnson, and Little Walter Jacobs. A great selection of tracks by a band you need to hear more of. Kerry is a great slide guitarist and his back up band really know how to lay down the blues.
