Notes: Eden and John's East River String Band are white city folk - singer/ukulele player Eden Brower and singer/guitarist John Heneghan from New York's East Village - who cover black country blues from the 78-rpm era with crisp fervor and a natural flair that suggests loving study and a respect for the hard lives and fight for joy on the original records. ~David Fricke, Rolling Stone

The 3rd release from the New York City based duo Eden & John's East River String Band (Eden Brower - vocals, ukulele and guitar/John Heneghan - vocals, guitar,mandolin and kazoo). It features their 2nd cover by underground comic legend Robert Crumb (The Book Of Genesis, Heroes Of The Blues, American Splendor). This record includes performances from special guests Dom Flemons (The Carolina Chocolate Drops), Eli Smith (Down Home Radio Show, The Dust Busters) and Pat Conte ( The Otis Brothers, The Secret Museum Of Mankind). Their previous CD/LP release "Some Cold Rainy Day also featured a cover by R. Crumb and received critical acclaim which led to tours of the U.S. and Europe. "Drunken Barrel House Blues" features classic Country and Blues masterpieces by legends such as Charlie Patton, Memphis Minnie and Ernest V. Stoneman.

Helmed by intrepid guitarist, mandolinist, vocalist and dedicated record collector John Heneghan along with kazoo, resonator ukulele and fetching vocalist Eden Brower, the East River String Band’s delightful fourth CD release is, once again, introduced to us by some inventive cover art courtesy of the legendary cartoonist and Cheap Suit Serenader, Robert Crumb. Crumb also adds his infectious fretwork to four of the fourteen traditional titles revived here, including entertaining renditions of both the James Cole String Band’s eternal question “Where You Been So Long?” and “Too Tight Rag,” originally committed to shellac in the early 1930’s by a group of Muhlenberg County, Kentucky coal miners led by one Everett Eugene Hack. Other old-time influenced musicians accompanying the irrepressible Brower and Heneghan include harmonica whiz Ernesto Gomez (Brotherhood Of The Jug Band Blues), Pat Conte and Blind Uncle Otis (Massapequa Parkaneers), banjo and quills ace Dom Flemons (Carolina Chocolate Drops) and mouth-harpist Joe Bellulovich of the Otis Brothers. Jackson Lynch of the Down Hill Strugglers also adds fiddle accents to a rousingly good-timey recall of Bo Carter’s “Baby How Can It Be.” Heneghan and company particularly shine on their blues numbers – favorites are Charley Patton’s “Pony Blues,” Tommy Johnson’s “Big Road Blues” and Skip James’ “I’m So Glad” – as well as on all-out shenanigans like “Old Jaw Bone,” “Diamond Joe” and “Got A Letter From My Darling.” Recalls the wildly energetic and appealingly eclectic music created by the Alan Wilson-helmed Canned Heat outfit in the 1960’s, record collectors all as well. ~Gary von Tersch
