Robert Diggs was a melodic and expressive harmonica player from Friars Point, Mississippi. A highlight of this four-song EP is a particularly lovely take on the "Someday Baby Blues," one of my favorite tunes. Sometimes all you really need is a harmonica, a voice, and a foot to stomp with.
"Robert Diggs [lived] in Friars Point, an isolated town with a sluggish atmosphere in the heart of the Delta. He started blowing harmonica when he was only six years old. Diggs and his sister, both blind, traveled throughout the south in their youth playing harmonicas together. Since he has rarely been accompanied by guitar, Diggs is unusually talented in blending his harmonica and voice into one." - George Mitchell
