Travelin' Blues CD Cover

Sourdough's first solo release since 2008 is a real crowd pleaser. Seven great new original songs, cookin' country blues, cowboy classics and lots of yippie-ti-yi-yodeling. This CD rocks! Backed on many songs by the instrumental wizardry of Robert Armstrong. You'll definitely want to add this gem to your collection. Sourdough says "Some albums just fall together so beautifully, magic happens. This is one of those moments."
