Forthcoming no more, the (absurdly) long gestation period has brought forth
Ted Estersohn Root and Branch on Wave Chair Records.  It's a solo effort,
acoustic blues by one guy in a chair, with occasional mandolin, tenor banjo,
or mandocello dubbed in; featuring hard core bottleneck blues and fancy
fingerpicking, blues original and traditional, some heartfelt, some
humorous, a little jazz, and even a bluesy take on an old modal mountain
tune.

Everybody pays lip service to the blues influence and "unplugged" is just a
marketing ploy.  Ted Estersohn has been playing down home blues for nigh
onto 40 years.  While holding on to his deep blues roots, he has also
developed a unique jazz guitar style, playing bass, rhythm, and lead
simultaneously.  He has played with artists such as Washboard Slim (Robert
Young), Son House, Bonnie Raitt, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Mance Lipscomb,
Rosalie Sorrels, and John Jackson.
