A Musical Flannery O'Connor...The blues of Dave Perkins is raw, real, and full of hope.

A Musical Flannery O'Connor
Make no mistake: This is no polite "blues-influenced" music, but the raw, primal Chicago deal, full of distortion, wailing harmonica, and stomping riffs. Its home is the Saturday night juke joint, not the Sunday morning sanctuary. That said, Perkins is obsessed with the tension between the harsh realities of life (a never-ending theme in the blues) and the promise of salvation, and his lyrics play out like a Flannery O'Connor short story. They are macabre, endearingly funny, and suffused with the hope of glory.
