For those who miss the early days Bonnie Riatt or Rory Block, Erin Harpe might bring salvation!  A blues Chanteuse in the vein of Memphis Minnie or Bessie Smith, Erin’s music comes close to the authentic and raw blues from decades ago.

Taught the guitar by her father, bluesman Neil Harpe, Erin quickly starts to play and sing in bars and folk festivals. But the stage was too small for Erin and thus soon some airplay followed.  Now being heard all over the world in all kind of blues shows it is time to present her second album: Delta Blues.  What Delta blues makes so special is the fact that Erin is singing a handful of duets with her father.  Full of finger picking greats reminiscent to time people where playing guitar on their porches in the hot summer nights both Erin & Neil perform some great classic tunes from Memphis Minnie, Bessie Smith, Lonnie Johnson or Henry Ragtime Texas Thomas.

Ten magical tunes from times gone by are presented on Delta Blues!  The old-time feeling that presented here is as fresh as possible and has totally nothing to do with old fat women or ugly guitar players. Erin Harpe is a good looking girl with a love for music as deep as possible and that is all you need to makes this great finger picking blues as hip as anything else.
Expect nothing else then the best when you start spinning this record.
