Ari Eisinger's new CD is great!

It's not old-time music, but I wanted to put in a plug for my friend Ari Eisinger's new CD, titled That Will Never Happen No More. Not because he's my friend, but because this CD is just so darn good.

Our friends at Weenie Campbell have a review of Ari's CD that nails it:

One of the more impressive things about him, aside from sheer virtuosity, is he doesn’t just master individual songs but takes on the entire stylistic vocabulary as well, allowing him to interject his own musical ideas into a tune without breaking the spell of painstaking authenticity and a real '20s vibe. His additions to Lemon Jefferson sound right at home, his liberties with Blake are things Blake himself would likely have played. Some contemporary players of country blues dismiss such an approach as too curatorial and insist the music needs a modern or personal imprint to stay vibrant and keep moving forward. But That Will Never Happen No More proves Eisinger’s method is completely viable as well: the music is very much alive in his hands, bringing new insight into the guitar styles of the '20s and '30s and the original masters of the music in a way that is just as exciting, if not moreso, for the listener. What he calls "the golden age of the blues" comes streaming back for the all-too-brief 45 minutes you'll spend with this CD in the player.

I think that anyone who enjoys my site and the music I play would find Ari's new CD a great addition to their collection. You can order it from him via his website at http://www.secondmind.com or from Elderly Instruments.
