"I Wonder To Myself" by Bob Long and Keith Miller is an authentic collection of old time blues tracks. This is a delightful and original rendition of old favorites. The vocals and use of guitar, harmonica, kazoo and jug give the CD that wonderfully delightful flavor of years ago when music gave the color of early America. The musicians are talented, and vocals are clear and sharp and have the feel of the era. The simple production of the mainly acoustic instruments on this CD, and mostly single-take recording is a perfect fit for the songs on this CD. Tommy Johnson's lyrics in "I Wonder To Myself" gives the common themes of the time (1929) when transportation was much slower. This song also gives hints of the racial problems of the era. The acoustic guitar, harmonica and kazoo musical accompaniment provide an outstanding musical landscape for this song. "Me and the Devil Blues" features an innovative harp sound that makes the impressive harp solo even more effective. "I Couldn't Help It" is a nice glimpse into the highlights of this CD, with a nice acoustic guitar groove, effective 2-part harmony vocals and scorching harmonica riffs. This CD is an excellent selection for the blues lover or for the collector of authentic music of American history.
