Hammer Thru The Silence

Keith Knight's CD, entitled Hammer Thru The Silence is a twelve-song album which includes seven original numbers and five original arrangements of the works of Leadbelly, Blind Blake and Charlie Patton, among others. Generally classified as traditional American folk music, Hammer Thru The Silence abounds in deep blues (ragtime/delta), montrously heavy slide guitar and some tenor vocals. Knight's compositions make this CD a real find. He knows how to pull the blues out of his instruments and his lightning-quick fingers are capable of laying down an accompaniment that is nothing short of mind-boggling.
