Jerron Paxton, 7 Inch Series

Truly a gifted human being. His feel good song Painting the clouds with sunshine gives me the same feeling that Fats Waller’s song Don’t let it bother you, does. Michigan water blues takes me back to the Fats Waller era where music was real and required talent. Keep in mind everything you hear was played by this multi instrumentalist. Super pumped to have this in my collection! Pop this in your record player open all the windows and sit on your porch and listen as the cool breeze blows your troubles away. unkle_john

Can't pic a favorite track. They're all so different and great in their own ways. Rollicking, haunted and virtuosic. Bklyngeezer
