Lewis
Cohen plays country blues the way it should be played. From the
other-worldly melodies of Charley Patton, through the lyrical and
humorous hokum romps of Bo Carter and Tampa Red and on to the
no-holds-barred barrelhouse holler of Bukka White, Lewis’ driving slide
guitar style provides the perfect foundation for his powerful
vocals. Gathering praise from luminaries such as Michael
Messer and Steve James, Lewis is making a name as one of the best
interpreters of the genre on the UK scene today. His debut album “Ain’t
Like Me”, containing a blend of authentic blues, classic Americana and
self-penned tunes has been
warmly received by the British blues press and his live performances
leave his audiences in no doubt that they've seen a great performer give
it everything he's got. In his own words
"If you're
two songs in and you haven't broken a sweat, you're just coasting!"
