Mike Seeger

"Seeger was a consummate player of almost all the instruments in the old-timey field ... It is a tour-de-force of traditional styles performed faithfully, yet not slavishly. His Fishing Blues from the repertoire of Henry Thomas is playful and swinging and a joy to listen to, both his guitar and harmonica playing are astonishing. Little wonder that Bob Dylan, aspring guitar and harmonica player, heard Mike Seeger and was moved to take up songwriting as he realised he would never approach Seeger as a player! Thank you Mike".
