Acari is a very different matter. His blues were born far away from his Scottish homeland, out in the Mississippi Delta. Son House, Gene Vincent and Johnny Cash helped pioneer the framework and people like Acari, nail their own touches to it, in this case, sandpaper vocals, the resonant twang of a nation steel guitar and some deft slide work.
