Cephas And Wiggins - Bluesmen - 1993.


Review
This album, unimaginatively titled, consisting almost entirely of cover version, and is their probably (in my opinion) best album. The material ranges from Blind Boy Fuller and Skip James (two more splendid 'hommages') to rhythm and blues tunes as well-known as 'Big Boss Man', 'Little Red Rooster' and 'The Things I Used To Do', but everything is confidently assimilated and reworked, with just enough flavour of the originals remaining to season the stew. On 'Blake's Rag', Wiggins's taste for the frantic pays dividends as he conjures up a harmonica analogue of Blake's guitar acrobatics.

Cephas And Wiggins - From Richmond To Atlanta - 2000.

Review
From Richmond to Atlanta collects selections from Cephas & Wiggins' three Flying Fish albums recorded between 1984 and 1992, Dog Days of August, Guitar Man, and Flip, Flop and Fly. Guitarist John Cephas and harmonica man Phil Wiggins have been playing acoustic Piedmont-inspired blues together for enthusiastic audiences for over three decades. This 12-song set captures an engaging mixture of ragtime, Delta, country, gospel, and folk originals and classics, with 24-bit remastering at a mid-line price from Bullseye Blues.
