TOMBSTONE DUNNERY – Featuring The Legendary Francis Dunnery

Francis Dunnery is no stranger to the blues!

"I basically got my blues education from Robert" he explains; "I think if there was a blues history competition, I would bet my life savings on Robert winning it. He knows everything about the blues. He was always telling me to listen to this guy or that guy. He told me about Robert Johnson, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Lightnin' Hopkins, BB King and all the other legends of the genre".
