Blues... A Healer, released in early February 2007,
takes E’s Blues and soulfully marches it into genre-
blurring territory, fusing rock, funk, soul, and singer-
songwriter aesthetics into a sound that is
mind-bending and booty-shaking.
Sensual, literate, explosive, and ground breaking,
his artistry keeps evolving. His adventurous
re-inventions, bold experimentation, stellar
instrumental and composing skills have placed him
high in the pantheon of all-time blues players.

"Crossroads," E's fifth album in as many years, he salutes
classic and traditional blues legends like Robert Johnson
and Memphis Minnie, as well as the contemporary masters,
Jimi Hendrix, Bill Withers and Keb Mo. In presenting this
latest showcase, E proves again that the conviction of any
good story-teller lies in their ability to convey powerful
imagery and messages in our hearts and minds. Whilst
these stories might be gathered from the well-trodden path
of life's love and loss. Emotional reservations, and
recovery, E's delivery of them is not. He takes each song
and turns it into a personal statement. He presents every
one of these songs as intimate conversations, and brings

warmth and deep sensuality with a little humor thrown into the mix. His vocal range is
heightened in Robert Johnson's "Crossroads Blues", and he even turns a "hmmm" onto
gut-wrenching drama in Keb Mo's "Love In Vain" layered with the call and response of his
harp. Whilst some of the songs offer a personal insight into E - the man, (in "Henry," he
acknowledges the wisdom of his grandfather's teachings), others reveal a keen sense of
his remarkable skills. Mose Allison's "Parchman Farm" is a pure harpist's delight, and E's
naked rendition of this classic gives us a sneak preview of his ambitions to date.
"Crossroads" moves us a long way from lonesome therapeutic blues and marks refreshing
turning points in the history of blues tradition
