Cephas & Wiggins – Somebody Told the Truth (CD)
Product Details
John Cephas and Phil Wiggins spent decades carrying the Piedmont blues tradition outward from Virginia and D.C. to festival stages across the world, becoming arguably the most important torchbearers of that fingerpicking, ragtime-inflected style in the post-war era. By 2002, their chemistry was deep and unforced, the kind that only comes from years of sharing the same stage night after night.
The Washington, CD-area based harmonica-guitar duo John Cephas and Phil Wiggins are known in the music world as modern day masters of storied Piedmont blues tradition. On Somebody Told the Truth, Cephas & Wiggins weave delicate country blues with contemporary urban sophistication. The Rollicking results are fired by the duo's passion and exuberance for the Piedmont tradition and their intuitive feel for each other's playing.
