Anson’s lean, fluid playing adds compelling star power to the proceedings.

‘Young & Evil’ [is] one of the best blues records you’re likely to hear this year.

<"b00005j9lp4999"> Album Description
The American roots music of Richmond VA’s Li’l Ronnie and the Grand Dukes is equally influenced by 50’s R&B, various styles of the blues, and rockabilly. Along the way they mix in some soul, swamp rock and even a touch of jazz. All of this is evident in the grooves of Young & Evil, the latest album by veteran singer/ songwriter/harpist Ronnie Owens. The seasoned and versatile Grand Dukes—guitarist Mike Dutton, drummer Bobby Olive, bassist Steve Riggs, keyboardist Steve Utt, and sax player Terry Hummer—are joined on five tracks by one of the premier guitarists in the blues today, Anson Funderburgh.
