THE RETURN OF THE BLUES GYPSY ... "RESONATING" marks the return of a classic figure of British blues history: singer, slide player and Dobro guitar expert Sammy Mitchell has always been the object of a great deal of respect in the U.K., but so far always failed to deliver a record that did his art justice. With "RESONATING" he has finally made THE album. It clearly shows why Sam Mitchell is one of the few real blues legends from Europe. He presents every aspect of his masterful playing, and the record shows an artist who hasn't sacrificed his music and individualism for the sake of being commercial. Sam Mitchell's playing today is at its peak and he doesn't have to hide out from his folk- and countryblues competitors. But these stylistic genres doesn't nail precisely what Sammy does, because Sam Mitchell likes to be a genre-hopper. This is exquisitely crafted modern acoustic roots music. Sam Mitchell has finally arrived.
