Peter May is a skilled practitioner of acoustic blues who is well-versed in Piedmont blues. His composition, “You Are Sacred,” is a feel-good, quasi-religious song that would fit well in the catalog of Rev. Gary Davis. May’s rolling finger-picking is terrific, but the addition of a tuba, played by Molly Jay (Mike Strauss Band), carries the performance into territory once championed by Taj Mahal and young Bonnie Raitt, among others. Once again, May’s willingness to champion tradition and chase his muse down musical alleys comes to charming resolve.
