Some eclectic songs here that make great music to slather (bbq sauce) by. The boppin' opener by Mitch Woods is awesome, really puts you in the mood, followed by wry humor wrapped in authentic lamentations on a subject most soulful, good southern-style cooking. Has the historic relevance you'd expect from House of Blues, with some numbers dug up from God knows where as well as big headliners. The actual BBQ content is somewhat diluted with ditties on other dishes, but enough to go on. A fun CD to have if you're serious about your 'cue and want to spend a soulful afternoon. Crack a cold one and enjoy!

BARBECUE BLUES-VARIOUS ARTISTS: When chillin' at the grill, what to pop on the sound system is almost as important as what goes on the fire. Here's a batch o' finger lickin', smokin' blooze tidbits to satisfy even the heartiest appetite. Fifteen invitin' entrees and spicy side dishes on this HOUSE OF BLUES menu will get your belly rumblin', your lips smackin', and your toes tappin'...succulent slabs of juke joint jammers and heapin' helpin's of meaty raw-boned rhythms are served up by one of a kind legends like LOUIS JORDAN, PROFESSOR LONGHAIR, and BESSIE SMITH. Jumpin' jiver SATURDAY NIGHT FISH FRY and ribald ballad GIMME A PIGFOOT AND A BOTTLE OF BEER may be familiar fare, but the more obscure snacks like JESSE STONE's COLE SLAW and EARL JACKSON's TAKE OUT THE SQUEAL IF YOU WANT A MEAL go down just as easy. Break out this sizzlin' platter at your next cookout, and be prepared to field requests from satisfied guests about the "ingredients". RED BEANS, ALLIGATOR MEAT, or CHICKEN GRAVY & BISCUITS anyone?...
