West Coast six-stringers Hans Stamer and Andreas Schuld mean well on this tribute to legendary blues artists from Bessie Smith and Leadbelly to J.B. Lenoir. And their playing is second to none on this collection of laid-back, easygoing acoustic jam sessions. They even have Long John Baldry and his sandpaper voice to add some grit. But let’s be honest, shall we? There never has been, and never will be, a legendary bluesman named Hans.
