Rough cut

"Rough Cut, as the title suggests, is stripped down acoustic style across a baker's dozen of originals and both familiar and relatively seldom done covers. "We did it for the love of the music," says Salgado. "This is where our hearts are. These are deep songs we love to play." ... These are some of the most emotive vocals Salgado has ever laid down, his harmonica playing is creative and inspiring, while Hager's guitar, whether picking or on slide, is dazzling throughout".

" ... this Alligator Records release succesfully combines the talents of both Oregonians, who penned six originals balanced with a healthy dose of well-executed covers, augmented by a supporting cast of guest artists ... This excellent balance of Pre-War blues standards and originals works extremely well, and compliments go to Johnny Lee Schell, who did an excellent job mixing the album - it sounds superb ... this is American Classical music at its finest".
