Album #86: Trimmed and Burning by Glenn Kaiser and Darrel Mansfield


1.       
Sound: Old time acoustic blues
Mood: Serious, old style preachy
Important Songs: Great Change Since I Been Born; Nobody’s Fault But Mine
One Song You Must Hear: Jesus is Comin’ Soon
Quote: “Roads I useta would walk, I don’t walk no more.”
Notes: Glenn Kaiser is one of the great Chicago bluesmen and Darrel Mansfield is a So Cal rocker.  They got together to play this collection of covers from Blind Willie Johnson and Rev. Gary Davis.  Kaiser’s vocals and Mansfild’s harp almost make the blues sound metal. Wow.
