He plays, sings and analyzes seven favorite classics and originals: Prison Blues, Big Bill’s Guitar, Vicksburg Is My Home, Sugar Babe, You Make Me Feel So Good, Sitting On Top Of The World, Two Trains.
Hans closes this DVD lesson with a full performance of Down In Mississippi Where The Blues Was Born, a stirring homage to his favorite blues masters.
