Powerful acoustic blues
author: BluesbunnyErnie mainly performs his own compositions, although he throws in several excellent cover versions as well. A case in point being his version of Robert Johnson's "Hellhound On My Trail", which is a truly phenomenal masterpiece of haunting atmospheric blues. With "Prozac Blues" he delivers a gem of a song that is a witty and traditional blues for our troubled times - perfect music for 'the-pill-for-everything-generation'. "Ain't Goin' Bald Jus' Getting Mo' Head" on the other hand returns us to the humorous innuendo and somewhat risqué blues style of old. "Youth Is Wasted On The Young" is his lament to, well, a wasted youth; and is definitely one most people will identify with to some extent, either because they've had one or wished they'd had one! "Just The Way You Say Goodbye" is a fine slower, passionate blues, and "Train Gone Dead" is another fantastic piece of guitar and harmonica blues that brings the album to a close. With Ernie demonstrating his not inconsiderable skill on the National Resophonic Guitar with only percussion, and sometimes harmonica, as accompaniment, this is one for blues purists. Unplugged, stripped back and flowing from the very heart of the Delta, Ernie proves that there is still a place for acoustic blues after all.

"a much needed serotonin boost!"
author: www.minor7th.com e-mag"southern's wry sense of humor, gritty vocals, & down home delta blues make "prozac blues" a much needed serotonin boost for the post-holiday duldrums. southern's originals fit nicely alongside the classics & demonstrate his creative gift & range of emotion.

Intense & Emotional!
