Scott Ainslie's 2002 Concert History

When it comes to keeping the traditional blues alive and well in the 21st Century, any discussion about contemporary American musicians has to include the venerable Scott Ainslie. Bluesman Ainslie could pass the audition to act a burly outdoor Grissly Adams in a movie remake, and he could easily pass as a lumberjack, but all of this belies that he is actually a sensitive singer, a lively bluesman in the tradition of the original country blues, including the Delta, Ragtime and Piedmont traditions.
