Comment:	This is a cd that shows how good real blues music by legendary musicians like Robert Johnson and Skip James is. It can lift you up from deep pain and give you hope ....or as Dion writes in the liner notes: "..Get it all out so it doesn't get twisted up inside (a bit of salvation) It feels so good to sing about something that hurts so bad.." This cd is a masterpiece. Dion has also included two selfpenned bluessongs about his christian faith and his catholic church background. After his gospelrecords in the eighties he hasn't recorded so many songs about his believe but another interesting example is his version of Robin Mark's 'Come heal this land" on the cd' New masters' (2003). That the seventy years old Dion is recording so amazing albums like the last two Cds 'Son of Skip James' and 'Bronx in Blue' reminds me a little bit of the American Recordings by Johnny Cash.
