notes
Haunted by the ghost of Bukka White, Andy and Michael Futreal play post-blues instrumentals, painting scenes sometimes odd, sometimes dark... and sometimes beautiful. This release features 6 live improvisational tracks and 3 transatlantic tape swaps, presented as "you are there" moments channeled through open-tuned acoustic guitars, mountain dulcimer, banjo, gourdtar, electric oilcan guitar, and harmonica.

In his review of "Like Twilight Bleeding," Gerald goes on to say that Andy "proves he is a neglected talent, living outside the commercial entities, but he deserves attention."
