Description
Canada's legendary bluesman is finally getting his recognition, at an age when many people are contemplating retirement. Only in the last decade or so has there been significant inroads into recording this definitive Canadian bluesman.
A masterful guitarist and top notch harpist, McLean's raw and gravelly vocals speak of a life lived to the fullest, and a career spent performing in and around the countless small towns that dot the Canadian prairies. When it comes to the blues, however, McLean's heart firmly beats to the ghosts of the delta greats - especially the incomparable Muddy Waters, with whom he toured over two decades ago. John Hammond Jr was another major influence.
