"Stand on the Ocean Records has delivered a the perfect antidote to the slick, overproduced music we are constantly bombarded with. Both these excellent collections deliver music that's the real deal straight from Mississippi proving that classic Delta blues and gospel are still alive and well." --(Jeff Harris) Bad Dog Blues WITR Rochester, NY review March, 2002 Once there was a time and place where the music meant something. Where the whole purpose of music was in its live performance and its ability to stir the blood as well as the soul. A place where the passion flowed between artist and audience and swirled about the room like cigarette smoke. That environment still exists-and in many locations. You just have to know where to look; and check your prejudices at the door. Several of those places can be found in Mississippi Delta. It is not surprising the legend of the "crossroads" centers here. The pull of each path feels close to the surface, demanding passionate response. Often that response is through music. Music of many forms; but always raw, personal and hot-blooded. There's a secret in the rhythm. For the best of anything get to the source, and that's just where Stand On The Ocean Records takes you with Crossroads: Two Paths. Recorded live in the juke joints and country chapels of the Mississippi Delta this pairing of delta blues and electrified gospel provides a taste of the natural energy and authenticity you can only find where the music is as natural as breathing.
