Notes: Guitar Red has lived as a street musician for as long as people can remember, and on most days can be found playing his unique style of acoustic blues in and around the square in Decatur, GA.

The thing that strikes me immediately about this album is that it's hard to believe just one guy is producing the sound. In that regard, he is a lot like Mississippi John Hurt. "Box Car No. 9" is a tune that features some excellent guitar picking and it is bound to get your feet stompin'.
Something about Guitar Red reminds me of another Georgia blues man: Blind Willie McTell. I think more than anything it's the way Red picks his guitar. He gets an incredibly clean sound.
"Three Legged Dog Blues" is a lowdown blues tune that wouldn't sound out of place on a back porch anywhere. "My old lady treats me like a three-legged dog." Now, that is the blues.
What is even more astounding about Guitar Red is that he has long been a street musician in Decatur, Georgia. He is an incredibly talented musician. He also plays the clavinet on the title track. You don't need to listen to much of the album to know that the blues comes from deep inside Guitar Red.
"Lightnin' in a Bottle" is a classic blues album, with songs about trains, drinking, ("Ain't Got Nobody but Myself"), prison ("Chain Gang Blues"), and having the blues. For a debut album, this is really strong. It's hard for me to believe that no one noticed Red's obvious talent before now. If you are in the area of Decatur, Georgia, I advise you to seek out Guitar Red and take in some of his tunes. If you are an old-time blues fan, this is an album you really should add to your collection.
