SOME AUTOGRAPHED CDs REMAIN
NAKED TRUTH IS ALSO AVAILABLE ON GOLD METALLIC VINYL LP
Blues-rock guitar legend swaps his blistering, full-band workouts for equally intense, soul-searching acoustic folk blues. All of Tinsley’s famed guitar chops and gruff, passionate vocals are on full display across nine newly written originals and reverent, yet spirited, versions of songs by Son House, Willie Dixon and Leo Kottke. Whether showcasing intricate fingerpicking or letting loose with fiery slide runs, Tinsley delivers each song with the unvarnished intimacy of the best acoustic blues. “An exciting, emotional guitarist and a strong, evocative songwriter… One of modern blues’ greatest performers.” —Vintage Guitar
