Album Review
Similar to the songsters of the '20s and '30s, Cephas and Wiggins are able to move easily between ragtime, blues, jazz and Piedmont-style folk music. Flip, Flop & Fly, the title track being the old Joe Turner hit, treads ground on all the above genres and styles. In particular "Darkness On the Delta" and "Banks of the River" showcase the emotional depth capable in Cephas' voice, and the original composition "The Backbiter" is modern acoustic blues at its best.
Customer Reviews
Post-modern Piedmont blues at its best
This album saw John and Phil first stepping a bit outside of the songster/Piedmont blues mode, but those songs are still there. Some of the songs include more of a jazz backing, and the title track is a particular highlight. Their originals are as good as the covers; "Evil Twin Blues" stands up with anything else on the album. Even their cover of the country classic "Today I Started Loving You Again", with the jazz band backing, is surprisingly good. This is just a good, solid album that is well worth the money.
