LIVE AT BAY CAR BLUES FESTIVAL
Crosscut
April 2006
Un concert capturé sur la scène d'un festival français. Les morceaux sont globalement trop longs mais la chaude ambiance, le talent des musiciens et la voix de Sharrie suffisent à donner un bon album live. Beau final sur "Travellin'" avec l'harmoniciste Robin Rogers.

Enregistré entre l'Allemagne et les Etats-Unis, cet album est co-produit par Sharrie Williams et son fidèle guitariste Lars Kutschke pour le label canadien Electro-Fi.

Son meilleur disque à ce jour.
