Mike
Whellans
Mike Whellans is the real thing, a keeper
of the one-man blues band flame that burned
so passionately in the work of this highly
specialised form’s masters, including
Doctor Isaiah Ross, Jesse Fuller and Whellans’
great British forerunner, Tony ‘Duster’
Bennett.
If you’re already familiar with Whellans,
you’ll know to expect a fired up and
ready one man blues band explosion. But
if this is your introduction, prepare to
hear a talent who’s not only his own
man as a singer, guitarist and ace blues
harpist, he’s his own rhythm section,
too.

'...just
about the best time you can have while
staying within the bounds of decency....The
newly converted Seasick Steve fans should
make this top notch treat their next discovery'
