Coming
straight out of Clarksdale, Mississippi is Olga Wilhelmine and her latest
release Now Is The Time. Featuring a mix of traditional Delta Blues tunes
and her own original compositions she stays true to the masters of the
genre with slide guitars, washtub bass and Dobro in the mix. Highlights
here include “”Your Love Don’t Work Like Mine”, the title track “Now Is
The Time” and “Can You Forgive Me”. Olga’s version of the Memphis Minnie
tune “What’s The Matter with the Mill” also deserves mention. Props to
Jimbo Mathus (ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers) who adds tasty lead guitar throughout
the CD. For more info on Olga go to www.laolga.com
