    Chris Wilson was one of the most respected bluesman in Australia, with a very strong following in Melbourne. To commemorate his passing in January 2018, Cheersquad Records & Tapes has re-released his 1994 album . Originally containing nine tracks, this remastered 17-track edition is available as a double CD and on vinyl. It’s a sublime pared-back affair with Wilson’s harmonica playing and strong baritone vocals joined by guitarist Shane O’Mara and jazz pianist Jex Saarelaht. There’s a couple of tracks from his solo, namely the slow, moving title track and the fiery ‘Alimony Blues’. There’s two distinctly different versions of the old Elvis Presley hit ‘Mystery Train’, with Wilson hitting harmonica overdrive on the second take. The powerful ‘Hymn’ is a fitting finale.
