NEWS... Cole & Ward have released their debut album, "Blues and Other Truths" and it's already getting great reviews and lots of airplay! Head over to Rawtone Records for more details and to hear it.
Blues in Britain magazine (issue 222) contains a two page interview that I had with journalist Shaun Freke. You can read the interview if you visit the Article gallery on my Gallery page.
