"Plaintive singing and superb resonator guitar work throughout"- Blues Revue
"...John is a pretty fine fingerpicker and Starbuck adds banjo, bass and harmonica to the mix, all the while singing in his plaintive, soulful voice.
...Two white boys roaming pre-WW2 stylings with panache, a veritable Sunday afternoon time-travel back to the Berkeley coffee houses of yore. Nice."

Serendipity often happens when two talented musicians who happen to be friends and kindred spirits get together and set about making music in a casual and relaxed atmosphere.
Armed with acoustic instruments including National resonator guitars, bass, Hawaiian guitar, mandolin,ukulele, harmonica and a fews days off of their respective bands busy touring schedules, Ekoostik Hookah and The Colin John Band, Cliff Starbuck and Colin John have created a rootsy and rollicking acoustic album that is bound to please fans of rootsy and soulful music.
General Delivery features stylistic acknowledgements to Bukka White,Blind Willie McTell,Mississippi John Hurt, Robert Johnson, Reverend Gary Davis, Sol Hoopii,Skip James,Blind Willie Johnson and others while showcasing and allowing Cliff's formidable bluegrass and Americana influences to meld seamlessly and shiningly with Colin's open-tuned blues and Hawaiian-influenced guitar excursions.
The result is an album is in the respectful and fun spirit of roots and blues masters past with Cliff & Colin's sights looking keenly toward the future.
We hope that General Delivery finds its way to your cd player, ears and soul, so that you too may experience the serendipity that is the result of this musical collaboration.
