Hans Theessink: Call Me

Hans Theessink is a Netherlands-born, Vienna-based folk/blues interpreter billed as the "Euro Bluesman." He plays a variety of string instruments (primarily guitar) along with harmonica and jew's harp and often performs in a duo with tuba player Jon Sass. Call Me is a fine effort from Thessink. "Ain't Got No Home" is a standout track with a fine back and forth between Theessink on slide guitar and Morris Goldberg on alto sax.
