4.0 out of 5 stars A must have for true Chicago Blues fans, September 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: New Bluebloods (Audio CD)

This is a compilation of artists who can still be seen at the various blues clubs in Chicago. To any afficionado of this scene, this CD will bring on memories of closing these bars down at 4 AM listening to any one of these bands. Although not as good as going to the blues bars themselves, this CD will approximate the atmosphere in your car, office or home. All of the tracks are strong, my favorite track being Dion Payton's signature tune, which he invariably played at Kingston Mines. Chicago Blues fans will not be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars no longer new, maybe, but still good, April 29, 2009

Since this music was recorded over 20 years ago, I suppose thse people aren't the "new" bluebloods anymore! This is still a very solid, enjoyable group of songs by (relatively) contemporary Chicago blues artists. The playing and vocals are all simply terrific, with enough variety to keep things interesting. The production is very clear without being slick, which means that the spirit of the performances also come through. The lyrical themes are the usual. A couple of twists -- the baudy "Meet Me With Your Black Drawers On" and the -- umm -- non-standard cheating tale "Woman Loves a Woman" won't have anyone mistaking these for Robert Johnson covers, however.

It's good to see that this is still in print or available for download. Very much recommended, especially for those people who aren't big blues fans but would like a good point of entry.

An excellent opportunity to hear some early Carl Weathersby guitar on "The Only Thing That Saved Me" with The Sons Of Blues.
