The second release, "Oktibbeha County" from WSNB, is proving to listeners all across the world that the blues is still alive and growing. When you hear WSNB, you know it's blues, but unlike any other you have ever heard. The songwriting is original and fresh, yet still contains the vintage of blues masters from days gone by. The sounds are stark and gritty, yet the hooks are stainless steel, with piercing melodies what will have the listener humming tunes long after the song has left the ear.

"If blues music grows and expands its audience over the coming years, it will be bands like WSNB leading the way. The WSNB sound flirts with swampy rock and roll and soul, while keeping a deep blues root running through its core. This ain't your mamma and daddies blues. The twin leads from guitarist Nathan 'Big Daddy' Brown and harpist Willie Shane Johnston create a signature sound that's topped off by vocals from Willie Shane that are as unique and soulful as the great Bobby Blue Bland. Rounding out the lineup is the rock solid rhythm section of Clay Ford on bass and Jason Gardner on drums. Two things jump out when listening to Jomo Swamp Root Boogie, the debut release from WSNB. First is the distinct musical sound. No other band sounds like this band. Second are the wonderfully written songs. In years gone by, blues was a music of protest, of heartache, of loss, of hope, of celebration. There was always a message in the music. In a time where most new blues cds are one cliche song after another, WSNB has put the message back into the song. Whether the songs are of protest (Honeywell), despair and anger over Hurricane Katrina (In A Bowl), stories of a Mississippi voodoo priestess (Casilla), or questioning love (3 O'Clock), there is nothing cliche about the music of WSNB." ~Mike Dew
