Review Text
With History Rhymes, Steve Howell and Jason Weinheimer, veterans of the ArkLaTex region's rich roots-based music scene, bring a wonderful collection of rural country blues, traditional jazz, and deep folk offerings to life on this intimate, eclectic album. With Howell providing melodic finger style guitar and soulful vocals and Weinheimer lending his considerable and widely recognized skills on bass, engineering, mixing and mastering, this record offers a very accessible set list. Featuring the musical virtuosity of jazz guitar journeyman, Dan Sumner, and the multi instrumental skills of David Dodson, tunes from Fats Waller and Blind Lemon Jefferson to Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer provide a wonderful framework for these seasoned musicians. "History does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes."
