Pete Mitchell alias Stratmaster

Cutting The Mustard

This compilation of ten original songs highlights Mitchell’s love of the blues guitar tradition in a unique blend that he calls "Crossover Electric Blues/Country-Rock." Pete Mitchell, with a unique voice and a swinging guitar, otherwise known as The Stratmaster, is certainly still cutting the mustard after 30 years. He's got a beautiful guitar presence and the music is really for grooving. Can't sit still to these easy lyrics, smooth voice and sulfurized guitar licks. "Free Man" and "I'm Gonna Get You" are excellent rocking blues songs. The confident guitar work, combined with meaningful lyrics and melodies, work together to create a mature album that represents a lifetime of dedication to, and respect for, the history of blues and rock and roll.
