Comments: From the promoter: "When you think of hot blues slide guitarists, names like Johnny Winter, Eric Clapton and Ry Cooder come to mind. But one new-generation axe master stands alone--guitar renegade Eli Cook. Much to the elation of Eli Cook fans across the globe, the blues guitar prodigy is preparing to release his fifth album, Ace, Jack, & King, tackling tunes like 'Catfish Blues', 'Driftin', and 'Crow Jane'. Eli's interpretation of blues legends Skip James, Charles Brown, Rev. Gary Davis and Nick Drake not only reinvents their classics, it breathes new life into them."

From the reviewer: Cook has a rich baritone that definitely packs the soul into his cover songs. Although I'm not known for listening to this genre of music, I can respect the artist for his deep blues and strong acoustic work. Try out tracks 1, 2, 5 and 11.
