Confessions of a Blues Singer is a blues album by Rory Block.[3][4] It was released in 1998 through Rounder Records.[5]
Critical reception
[edit]The Chicago Tribune wrote that "the album doesn't rise above its museum-piece feeling until Block closes with two epic originals, 'Mother Marian', a sad profile of an elderly acquaintance, and the autobiographical 'Life Song'."[6]
