Personnel: Davis Coen (vocals, guitar); Eric Von Schmidt (harmonica).
This debut release by Davis Coen done while still in his teens and produced by folk-music legend Eric Von Schmidt, who's "Baby, Let Me Follow You Down" was recorded by Bob Dylan on his 1962 Columbia debut self-titled release. Von Schmidt, a grammy winner for album liner notes, scripted those also for "Cyin' the Blues" and designed the cover- as well as played harmonica on two tracks. The album includes a selection of acoustic blues-roots styles ranging from traditional folk-blues by the likes of country blues legends Blind Lemon Jefferson and Son House, to the much more folkster Americana-flavored early Coen originals such as "Long Lost Friend" (included in the 1999 movie "Fresh Cut Grass" which was featured on Showtime Channel) and the introspective "Trouble in My Mind".
