1922 features a hand picked selection of Charlie’s best songs from his recent recordings, all of which manage to put a bright and lively face on material that doesn’t pull any punches.
His self-taught mix of slide blues, fingerpicking and quasi-frailing technique comes together with a voice that’s low on drama and high on impact.
The finger picking, freewheeling swing of “1922 Blues” is the music on the ‘folding girlfriend’ Vodafone TV commercial and is taken from this album, 1922. It’s a tribute to Charlie’s late father – 1922 being the year he was born.
