Manifesto Blues - Bluz'in: The Cream Sound Of Blues

Size: 85,9 MB
Time: 36:40
File: MP3 @ 320K/s
Released: 2006
Styles: Funky Blues, Blues Rock
Art: Front

01. WTC: A Vaca Foi Pro Brejo (3:14)
02. Eu Encho A Cara (3:35)
03. Passeio No Parque (3:10)
04. Era FHC, Melo Do Endividado (4:15)

09. Lu, Sua Cachorra (4:50)
10. Bluz'in (2:38)

No CD Bluz'in cada música é diferente, há sempre uma surpresa, alguma boa sacada que evita o óbvio. Logo na primeira música "WTC (a vaca foi pro brejo)), entra a gaita de Jefferson Gonçalves, quebrando o monopólio da guitarra, instrumento-símbolo dos power trios. Big Joe Manfra é outro convidado de peso, acrescentando seu estilo e timbre de guitarra a "Eu encho a cara". A velha canção popular "Fui no Tororó" ficou com uma tremenda pegada. O CD encerra-se com a bonita blues ballad "bluz'in, contrapondo dobre e guitarra elétrica.
