Reverend Robert is a master of prewar blues. He has delved deep into the styles of Charley Patton, Robert Johnson and other delta blues giants. In the past two decades he has become accomplished at many other early twentieth century styles including ragtime and early jazz, Hawaiian and Caribbean. He combines these styles seamlessly in a combination of infectious rhythm and an authentic acoustic sound.
