An personal collection of original songs, that are both autobiographical and fun. ”A Blues for Doc” is a tribute to his longtime friend Doug Riley, who passed away before it was completed.”The Evergreens” is about life on the road and his longing for Canada. ”I Can't Complain” is a blues with great guitar by Bernie LaBarge.  ”Donnybrook” with Doug Riley playing barrelhouse piano is another memorable song. Three songs are on the Bloodlinesalbum,  ”Mornin' Blues”, ”Dancin' To Labelle” and ”I Can't Complain”.

This is an honest album with superb musicianship.
