Gerry Hemingway: Double Blues Crossing

by Budd Kopman
November 21, 2006

Double Blues Crossing is actually two records in one. The first is a set of five related tracks carrying the record's title, which together could easily be a soundtrack to a short movie of the story that is presented in the liner notes. The Buddy Luckett and Joe Cracklin named in the tracks are characters in the story of a mysterious death in the poor South told by Rosa Abigail to the narrator, who just might be Hemingway himself.
