  • Description

    John Cephas and Phil Wiggins are internationally acknowledged masters of the beloved Piedmont blues tradition. For nearly 30 years, the Washington, DC-area based harmonica-guitar duo have championed modern day country blues, rejuvenating the genre's soul-stirring past with contemporary lyrical observations. Their recordings and live performances have drawn consistent praise from a host of national and regional media outlets. The prestigious blues publication Living Blues calls Cephas & Wiggins "today's premier Piedmont blues guitar and harmonica duo".

    On Shoulder To Shoulder, Cephas & Wiggins craft intricate country blues that's equal parts rural relaxation and urban passion. Pianist Ann Rabson (Saffire—The Uppity Blues Women) guests throughout the new release, adding tasteful fills and boogie-woogie drive to John Cephas' hypnotic ragtime picking and the precise, peerless harmonica of Phil Wiggins. The songs include a bunch of new John Cephas originals, plus classics by Blind Boy Fuller, Sleepy John Estes and Skip James.
