"Miss Blues' Child"

Miss Blues' Child CD
'Featuring fast-fingered guitar and a powerful voice beyond his years, Cook doesn't need any Robert Johnson-style pact with the devil to take him to the top.'
This snippet from a review in the C'ville, 'Charlottesville's newsweekly' while Eli Cook was still in high school, was used to introduce the bluesman yesterday in Scottsville at the annual Fourth of July celebration.

How would you like to live up to that?

The kid did it without breaking a sweat.

The only disappointment was that he didn't do the national anthem Jimi Hendrix-style, as he momentarily promised with a riff from that famous performance.
