ROBERT HILL & JOANNE LEDIGER - REVELATION
GOSPEL BLUES
LABEL: SELF
RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 23, 2022
Many of the pioneering recording artists of the 1920's and 30's such as Blind Lemon Jefferson, Son House, Blind Blake, and Willie Johnson were itinerant American blues and gospel singer/songwriters, guitarists, and evangelists. Arkansas born Robert Hill drew inspiration from them for his award-winning original song, "Preacher's Blues" sung by his partner Joanne Lediger on their new release, Revelation, a collection of eleven new tracks of traditional Gospel Blues, which includes four new originals penned by Hill. Joining the duo, who have been performing together for the past 15 years, are Hill's daughter, Paulina, on vocals, Frank Pagano on drums and percussion, Steve Gelfand on bass, with Robert Hill on vocals, keys, harmonica, and his award-winning slide guitar. It has often been said " It's a fine line between Saturday night and Sunday morning," and this album strives to prove that axiom self-evident.
