Every once in awhile I come across a thread about a particular Mudcatter, and so far I've successfully avoided starting one myself. All it takes is a quick listen to the Mudcat CDs to see that there are many, many Catters who deserve the greatest praise for their music. But I tell ya, Mistuh Tweed is somethun else! I've heard a lot of white folkses do blues, including Dave Van Ronk, who I took lessons from. Once in awhile I hear a white folks doing the blues, and I don't think about them being white, black, or even tweed.
They've made the music their own. They reflect their influences, but they don't sound like them. They've taken that magical step from being a copy to being an original.

If you want hear some fine blues that sounds old and fresh and new, all at the same time, check out Tweed's website at Tweedsblues. Just type inTweedsblues, and when his home page comes up, click on his badly recorded blues and hear for yourself.

Now, Mistuh Tweed, I'd like to hear them blues recorded even better..
