SHAKE THE BLUES: the songs, artistry, and luthiercraft of John Allen Knutson. Featuring David Grisman mandolins, Bill Fouty acoustic bass.

Herein is a collection of thirteen of John’s original compositions spanning the last forty-five years, and played primarily on six of his Knutson Luthiery hand crafted guitars and mandolins. Beside playing his stringed instruments, John is also singing and playing harmonica on a rack.
In listening to this CD please keep in mind that this is essentially a live studio recording of an acoustic trio, (with some added background vocals). This music was recorded in two six hour sessions, unrehearsed, unplugged, and raw. Three guys, on a journey through the landscape of acoustic blues, jazz, and Americana.
