Though the Mississippi Delta’s **Little Willie Farmer** and Rhode Island’s **Ryan Lee Crosby** come from different backgrounds, they are each dedicated to performing Mississippi blues music. Farmer — a Big Legal Mess and Music Maker Foundation artist from Duck Hill, MS — focuses on Delta- and Memphis-style blues while Crosby performs the stomping North Mississippi and the haunting Bentonia, MS blues. (Skip James is from Bentonia, MS.) The Memphis Flyer terms Farmer‘s last recording a “great album.” Another reviewer described Farmer as "the best traditional Mississippi Blues artist today.” Though Crosby is a yankee, he has spent considerable time in Memphis and Mississippi and is mentored by GRAMMY Award nominee and juke joint proprietor Jimmy “Duck” Holmes. Premier Guitar Magazine cites Crosby as a “contemporary torchbearer of a traditional Delta blues style.”
