In addition to being technically brilliant, Henry’s playing shows the depth of his understanding of and love for the blues, as well as a sense of humor blues aficionados will appreciate. At the same time, his performances are accessible to the “uninitiated”. This combination is likely to draw in and win new fans not only for Henry, but also for the wonderfully rich heritage that is the blues.

For over thirty-five years now, Henry May has been one of my all-time favorite guitarists. Henry's music is always evolving: each piece changes from one performance to the next. (Compare, for example, tracks 2 and 10, which are two versions of Half Finger Blues.) The tracks were recorded in Nashville, TN on January 25th and 26th, 2000. We cut the music live and present it here as Henry played it: unedited, with no overdubbing. --Andy May, producer

This CD is dedicated to: John Lee Hooker, Lightnin' Hopkins, Snooks Eaglin, Memphis Minnie, Tommy McClennan, Big Joe Williams, Muddy Waters, Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, Robert Johnson, Lonnie Johnson, and many others, too numerous to name, who played and lived the blues. --Henry May

Andy May--Cafe' Americana

Andy May’s grasp of what makes good listening is impeccable. His warm and mellow voice invites the listener to relax and let the music move around the edges of consciousness. He ...cuts to the heart of a concept and brings it to life in song. With samplings of bluegrass, country, folk and acoustic swing styles that evoke many nuances of emotion, ["Cafe' Americana"] is a great album for any collection. Full Text
