NEW ALBUM BY DAVID 'HONEYBOY' EDWARDS TO BE RELEASE FEB. 19

Earwig Music is releasing a new album by David 'Honeyboy' Edwards, scheduled for release on Tuesday, February 19th, and being distributed by Burnside Distribution. It is available now in our online store.

Harkening back to the golden ear of pre-WWII blues, when Honeyboy and the greatest Delta harmonica players gigged together, before any of them had recorded or gained notoriety.

Featuring Honeyboy's old school guitar and vocals - fresh takes on old gems and first time release of historic recordings. New 2007 sessions with harmonica greats Bobby Rush, Billy Branch and Johnny "Yard Dog" Jones, previously unreleased 1975 studio recordings of Honeyboy and Big Walter Horton, and circa 1976 concert tracks --solo and with Sugar Blue.

Michael Frank, Paul Kaye, Rick Sherry and Kenny Smith also play on the album on various tracks. Honeyboy and Bobby Rush also tell some short blues tales.
