Bill Sheffield: Never Too Late To Make Music

Exceptional melding of americana, country, roots and blues into a sound that is pure american music. Bill Sheffield's website describes the journey:

"How exactly did a middle-aged white guitar player from Atlanta, Georgia, come to produce a stunningly accomplished collection of folk, roots and blues music-one that calls to mind the genius of John Hurt, Hank Williams and Muddy Waters?Flashback 40 years or so to a young, burgeoning guitarist who fell in love with a special piece of American music history. It was a song that would launch him on a lifetime journey down the tributaries and runnels of the Delta. "Blind Willie Johnson played the greatest piece of music I ever heard," he says. "That was 'Dark Was The Night (Cold Was The Ground).' It's still the best piece of American music ever recorded. It changed my life and made me understand what I was trying to do. He was the best slide player that ever lived. He was able to do something that's never been touched really."
