Although he'd been recognized since the early 1980s as one of the greatest living blues harmonica players, it was this 1990 recording that established Paul deLay as a profoundly talented songwriter as well. The Other One's 11 originals---written after deLay's much-publicized drug bust, during his recovery from addiction and in the shadow of a pending trial--showcase deLay's exceptional songwriting talents, unique sense of humor, searing harmonica, brilliant arranging, and seamless band. Winner of the Cascade Blues Association's Muddy Award for Album of the Year. Songs Merry Way, Ain't That Right, The Other One, Great Round World, Chalk and Roll, Silly Smile, Why Can't You Love Me, Every Woman I Get, Oat Bran, Worn Out Shoe, Second-hand Smoke.Note: Also available in CD.
