Interview with Rory: Having her interpret these songs as a woman who knew Dylan when she was still a tweenager is a unique and fascinating journey into arguably the best songwriter of the last 60 years executed by a woman who is arguably the best acoustic guitarist of either gender.

The longest tenured band in Alligator Records’ history as the premier blues label, this band is fronted by the rawest of the raw on guitar. This group puts on a show that would peel paint off a classic Cadillac, let alone an Imperial.

‘Pandora Sessions’ was inspired by his mentorship under elder statesmen of the blues in his home state of Mississippi.

‘The Hits Keep Coming’ is a career-defining album of adult songs with references reflecting Rick’s long strange trip into the blues. Recorded for Alligator, the blues label that’s been in business almost as long as Rick has, it features Kid Andersen on guitar and was recorded at Kid’s Greaseland Studios.

His time with the Drifters allowed him to grow vocally, and what you hear on his new album ‘It Ain’t Easy’ is blues from the soul.
