Stony Plain Records Signs Rory Block

Label Debut, Blues Walkin’ Like A Man

Due September 30

CD is a Tribute to Father of the Delta Blues

Son House

EDMONTON, AB – Stony Plain Records has announced the signing of acclaimed blues singer/guitarist Rory Block and the September 30 release of her label debut, Blues Walkin’ Like a Man: A Tribute to Son House. The new CD features a special guest appearance by Rory’s long-time friend John Sebastian, who contributes harmonica on three tracks. 

Rory Block was a 15-year old guitar prodigy when she first met the legendary Son House in 1965 backstage at a well-known Greenwich Village club. “Son House virtually radiated a golden light,” Block remembers of that first meeting. “I learned a deep lesson about the power of the music which became an inseparable part of me. Later, I had a chance to play for him. I will never forget his amazement as I played Willie’s Brown’s ‘Future Blues.’ He was asking people, ‘Where did she learn to play like this?’”
