Nick Moss...Read All About It!

Singer-guitarist Moss carries the torch of Chicago blues high
and blazing.

EVEN FERVENT followers of Chicago blues must sometimes wonder if those deep wells of precedent and inspiration may eventually go dry; if one day no young musicians will care to read the old books and write new ones of their own. Long before the end of Count Your Blessings, such cares have been blown away. Nick Moss has been playing chicago blues since his teens. He has made two promising albums and now, at 33, his third marks the end of his apprenticeship. Whether backing colleagues like Sam Myers and Lynwood Slim on local standards or delivering original songs rooted in the same soil, he speaks in a voice that's both his own and pungently accented with tradition. Barrelhouse Chuck on keyboards and Curtis Salgado on harmonica, equally steeped in the secrets of the music, dress the set perfectly.
