Johnny Shines | Too Wet to Plow | Album

Johnny Shines’ Too Wet to Plow is a masterclass in stripped-down, all-acoustic Delta blues that stands as one of the most powerful acoustic statements of the late-1970s blues revival. Recorded in Edmonton, Canada in 1975 and released via Blue Labor in 1977, the album captures Shines at the absolute peak of his late-career powers. Rather than relying on the heavy electric Chicago setups of his middle career, Shines returned heavily to his roots to deliver a deeply personal, brooding, and unrepentant acoustic statement.
