Broke down busted up

"It's always a pleasure to discover a blues album that strives for more. That's the case with Tas Cru's fifth CD outing, Broke Down Busted Up, which mixes an acoustic blues sensibility with a rootsy feel, courtesy of Anne Harris' lonesome long bow fiddling on most of the 11 tracks ... Fans of Appalachian fiddle tunes blues are going to love this album. The songwriting is varied and substantial, the musicianship top-notch, and the themes of love and longing, defiance and hope are just what's needed in difficult times ... The raw talent and vision Cru has demonstrated over five albums suggests he will continue to develop an international audience for blues that are at once supple and surprising".
