Siftin Thru Ashes

Since releasing his debut CD in 2004, Matt Schofield is developing a fast growing following of admirers stretching from the USA to the Far East. Many Blues fans in the UK and Europe will already know Matt from his work with Lee Sankey, Dana Gillespie and The Lester Butler Tribute Band. He is being talked of by those in the know as "the finest Blues-inspired guitarist to have emerged in Britain for several generations." Now with this first studio album Matt shows his colors as a fine songwriter as well as one of the most gifted guitarists on the contemporary Blues scene. Using the same band line up that performs so powerfully on the live CD, (Jonny Henderson on organ and Evan Jenkins on Drums), Siftin' Thru Ashes has eight original numbers together with stunning re-interpretations of some classics including The Boxtops' The Letter (also popularized by Joe Cocker).
