'REVIEW: Mick Kolassa, 'Ghosts Of The Riverside Hotel' (Swing Suit Records)

"Mississippi" Mick Kolassa plays the blues with feeling, reverence and humor. On 'Ghosts Of The Riverside Hotel' (Swing Suit Records), he's a funky strumming fool who could care less about making a damn dime from his music. That's why all proceeds from the sale of this beauty goes to the Blues Foundation. He writes memorable tunes, and sings 'em in a craggy, unorthodox style.
