Rev. Rabia with Virgil Thrasher

Never Too Late

Were this record musically inept, the names alone would be worth the price of admission. Fortunately, there’s no ineptitude here, only some great acoustic blues and songwriting from this collaboration between Rev. Rabia Wozniakowska and Virgil Thrasher. Rev. Rabia is from the Bay Area, and her singing and acoustic guitar are joined on some of the selections by Virgil Thrasher, Robert Lowery’s harmonica-player-in-residence, for a spate of covers ("Spoonful," "Help Me," "Cry Like a Baby") intermingled with some fantastic originals.

REVIEW OF REV. RABIA 

OL'GUITAR

" Rabia Yamazawa is an unsung gem of the Bay Area music scene, the vocalist/guitatist regularly bringing her intensely felt take on the classic blues and roots music to venues throughout California'central coast. But it's not as simple as calling her a blues musician as her long gestating CD Ol'Guitar makes plain throughout her surprising eclectic 16 tracks"
