专辑简介

'Monongahela Rye', Ernie Hawkins' 2014 follow up to 'Whinin' Boy', is another wonderful collection from a brilliant artist that spans both eras and composition. From his delightful finger-picked solos, to beautifully crafted duets, to dixieland style quintet pieces - this CD speaks straight to the heart.

As Hawkins implores the listener in 'Monongahela Blues' - "Monongahela, Allegheny, Ohio -- to the Mississippi, don't you wanna go? Down to New Orleans -- we'll do our best to lose, a couple hard cases of these Monongahela Blues". You'll definitely want to take this journey and lose your blues with Ernie Hawkins and maybe a little bit of "Monongahela Rye".
