Three years have past since AKA hit the airwaves. In that time B.B. has traveled through the heart of American Roots music, from Avalon to the Appalachian's, with the ghost of Harry Smith as his guide.

In these nine songs on HEART WORN SLEEVE you will hear the longing that lays within the spaces of each note played and feel the footprints each one leaves behind. Joining bb on HEART WORN SLEEVE is a group of young musicians’ who call themselves the Goldmine Pickers. You can also find their music right here on www.cdbaby.com/goldminepickers. Also, joining bb is his recording guru Bruce Bartlett and a friend from the other end of the country, MJ Bishop.

It's not often I pop in a disc from an unfamiliar local performer and I'm not only thoroughly impressed, but I'm surprised almost to the point of being stunned. Mesmerizing, soothing vocals, combined with thoughtful superb writing. The voice is unique, but familiar, it recalls early Dylan of the basement tapes era, but there is more there, an additional warmth reminiscent of Greg Brown or Chris Smither. This is a honest CD, written and performed in the heartland with the unfettered Midwestern sensibilities of an artist possessing uncanny maturity for his sophomore release.  I found myself listening to it over and over this afternoon. Highly recommended, one of my favorite CDs of 2008.- Steven Johnson Publisher MichiganFolkLive.com
