"One of the most innovative, talented and engaging blues musicians on the planet today,"writes MOJO magazine about Ian Siegel. "Picnic Session" was recorded in North Mississippi in the style of a veranda assembly. Ian Siegal joins forces with Jimbo Mathus, The Dickinson Brothers and Alvin Youngblood Hart. It's a relaxed affair, the perfect expression of what happens when five talented musicians come together with love of blues and roots in Americana without a given idea about the result. This album was originally a web-only/fanclub release. Due to the great demand Nugene Records has decided to release the album officially. Ian Siegal says:"There's something liberating about recording casually without the pressure of having to produce an album. So don't expect perfection, it's more to do with the vibe, which you can gather from some of the banter that ensued between songs. We had a blast, like kids let out of class!
