Some Cold Rainy Day

Eden & John's East River String Band are and Old-Time music group from New York City. Founding members Eden Brower & John Heneghan play Old-Time & Country Blues music in the style of the 1920's. Some Cold Rainy Day features Ragtime piano master Terry Waldo (Woody Allen's Orchestra). It also features an unbelievably beautiful cover by Underground Comic/Old-Time music legend Robert Crumb (Cheap Suit Serenaders/ Fritz The Cat). 'Eden and John's East River String Band are white city folk - singer ukulele player Eden Brower and singer-guitarist John Heneghan from New York's East Village - who cover black country blues from the 78-rpm era with crisp fervor on Some Cold Rainy Day (East River). They don't strain for authenticity, but they address songs such as Willie Brown's 'Future Blues' and Skip James' 'Crow Jane' with a natural flair that suggests loving study and a respect for the hard lives and flight for joy on the original records'. - David Fricke (Fricke's Picks) Rolling Stone November 13, 2008
