‘Almost 42nd Street’ is the extraordinary album from one man blues band, Mike Whelan. Guitars, vocals, harmonica, bass drum, high hat and percussion – Whelans plays the lot! You would normally expect to hear music like this on Beale Street, Memphis rather than Main Street, Lauder, but who cares, we should be happy that this exceptional music is available for all to hear.

Tracks: Jammin’ The Blues, Strange Love, Ragtime Joe, No Baby No, Am I Wrong, When The Curfew Blows, Meet Me At The Bottom, Jumping In The Neighbourhood, Hip Shakin, Warm It Up To Me, Ready Stedy Freddie, Baby What Do You Want Me To Do, I’m In The Mood, Smile On Your Face.
