Confessions of a Blues Singer is Rory's thirteenth Rounder recording, continuing her raw and intense journey through authentic acoustic Delta blues. In her pursuit of feel, rather than mere technical proficiency, Rory follows in the footsteps of Robert Johnson, Charlie Patton, Blind Willie McTell and others to capture a soulful moment in time with each song. Guitar Magazine's Bob Gulla has noted that few women dedicated to the blues have ascended to such respected ranks as Rory Block. With the receipt of the 1998 W.C. Handy award for Traditional Blues Female Artist of the Year, it appears that Rory is finally receiving the recognition she so richly deserves.
