Mike Eldred goes down to the crossroads and comes back with a mess of new tunes.
Baptist Town, by the Mike Eldred Trio, is an album that was birthed in the town where Robert Johnson was murdered. As the story goes Eldred took his daughter on a road trip through the south and decided to make a stop at the place where Johnson took his last breath. What he saw inspired and disturbed him, and the record that resulted from that experience is planted firmly in the delta soil. The album cover photo of a weathered shotgun shack sets the tone for the music that follows.
