These "Lost and Last Blues Survivors" show no sign of wanting to retire!
What Can An Old Man Do But Sing The Blues sings Dr. Burt, with a fragile voice.
How old do you have to be to deep blues? Sure, I have seen enough young bands and musicians who played with so much passion, fire and life as if they were already on the road are at least 40 years ´ ´. But still: in one way or another, I find it a wonderful sight to see where the blues musicians life has signed off on their face in deep grooves. On Music Maker Revue Live! In Europe, these ' old ' masters of the blues brought together.
There is something for nearly everyone here. It starts off with probably the youngest artist on the MM label (the exception being the Carolina Chocolate Drops, who started on MM and are now on Nonesuch) - Pura Fe. This Native American (who is a founding member of the group Utali) sings the Blues as well as self-composed songs from the Native American perspective. On this CD she matches one of her own compositions with Gershwin's "Summertime". The older generation is represented by Dr. Burt, Albert White and Alabama Slim (who sings "Old Folks Boogie" along with Muddy Water' "Trouble No More". And then there is (Ms.) Pat Cohen who almost out-Kokos Koko Taylor with three hot female blues numbers. Everyone comes together for a lively "The Blues is Alright" to close out the hour-plus of great music.
