Veterans of the Alabama blues scene for more than four decades, Little Whitt (born Jolly Wells, February 19, 1931) and Big Bo (born Bo McGee, October 9, 1928) reached out to an audience outside their home state for the first time in March 1995. Touring Europe for more than two months, the two bluesmen performed over 50 concerts in Ireland, Scotland, Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany, and England. Their debut album, Moody Swamp Blues, released the same year, was named "CD of the Year" by British blues magazine Blueprint. In early 2002, one year after McGee won an award from the Alabama Folk Heritage for his contributions to blues, he was killed and his stepson charged with the murder.

Listening to this album will take you back in time to a day where the little things in life meant so much. It captures a feeling of sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch of an old house just enjoying a cool breeze blowing against your face. Forget about seeing a therapist to ease your troubles in life. Just stick this cd in, press play, and enjoy the soothing of your soul.
