“Lonesome Traveler’s Blues” es un álbum que contiene diez magníficos temas originales en los cuales Roland Bennett Stone Jr. narra esas historias que vivió como un viajero solitario, un ir y venir entre aventuras que fueron marcando un gusto muy particular por la música, interpretadas con todo el corazón por un puñado de músicos que aman y respetan su trabajo. A través de la música, R.B. Stone se ha encargado de crear realidades particulares, llenas de las risas y de las lágrimas del blues. El grupo explora los caminos de la música sureña, ya sea Americana o blues y lo hacen, tanto con el predominio de las guitarras acústicas como de la National, o incluso con la eléctrica. El disco es variado y festivo, pues RB Stone y sus músicos atacan con convicción shuffles, rhumba blues, hard boogie blues y hasta un blues lento en menores de ocho compases titulado, “Find Yourself A Fool”. Todas las composiciones corren a cargo de RB Stone, quien se encarga además de tocar guitarra acústica y armónica. El resto del grupo está formado por Glen Kuykendall guitarra acústica y National, Billy Crain guitarra acústica y eléctrica, Jared ‘Jay’ Palmer bajo eléctrico, David Sappington batería y Ed Adkins contrabajo. Un disco sobrio y discreto pero con muchas pinceladas de interés para el oyente.

Roland Bennett Stone, Jr., has lived the dreams of many a young man. He's led the "cowboy life," ridin' and ropin' and bustin' broncs on "the circuit," as well as leading the life of a bluesman, with some fifteen Americana albums under his belt. A fantastic singer, composer, guitar and harp player, RB has just released "Lonesome Traveler's Blues," where he puts his perspectives on life and love to music, with ten smokin' originals that will have you wantin' more when it's over. Take "Born Into The Blues," for example. The story of a man who "comes from a long line of sad news" features stinging guitar from Billy Crain. RB's whisky-soaked baritone fuels the autobiographical title cut where he laments "I'm a long way from home..where I'm at, I'm not known." (Nashville Blues Society)
