Blues Party

New Millennium Blues Party (2000)

20 tracks/blues

This CD features an eclectic mix including Eric Clapton, Robert Cray (the supercomputer guy?), Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, and many others.

If I were going to pick blues for the new millennium, it would have been a lot different mix than this one, but that it part of what makes it interesting.

Including Bad to the Bone by Thorogood and the Destroyers is odd. Ditto for Runaway by Bonnie Raitt.

Including Tuff Enuff by The Fabulous Thunderbirds goes beyond just odd.

Definitely worth listening to, more than once.
