Down home rural folk blues are worn well by Nick Wade, sitting and picking on an album that sounds like it might have been on a vintage Alan Lomax recording from the Depression. His voice is akin to Muddy Walters, rich and relaxed, with a picking style that has a nice attack, feeling like a calliope on instrumentals like “Raggin’ My Blues Away” and “Ragamuffin” while strumming under the vocals on “The Broken Hearted Man”. The tones and pace is dusty road patient, warm on “Sky Line Drive” and foreboding on “Crucifixion”. Finger pickin’ good.
