Blues Alive

Blues Alive! is the latest release from Iowa native Michael 'Hawkeye' Herman, a fixture on the blues festival and blues education circuits, who plays traditional acoustic blues guitar, and is a respected blues storyteller with over 40 years of performing experience. The album features three songs penned by Hawkeye, but is predominantly covers of traditional blues songs like the Mississippi Sheiks Sitting On Top of the World, and Robert Johnson's Come On In My Kitchen, with the occasional contemporary song interspersed, such as Mose Allison's tongue in cheek Your Mind Is On Vacation. Rediscover many great tunes that are the bedrock of blues.
