About this product
Three of today's deepest, most decorated acoustic blues masters reunite to summon ancestral spirits with songs both long remembered and newly created. Even as they step back in time, Guy Davis, Corey Harris and Alvin Youngblood Hart-who met at the 1996 Chicago Blues Festival and won ardent acclaim for their first True Blues project in 2013-prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that African American blues remains as vital and vibrant as ever. Recorded separately in Virginia, Mississippi and New York, these soul-stirring performances include a Jimmy Strother banjo song migrated to Piedmont-style guitar (Harris's InchFight OnInch), an inspired reworking of Elizabeth Cotten's InchShake Sugaree,Inch reimagined as if Blind Willie McTell were playing the guitar (Davis's InchEverything I Got Is Done In PawnInch), and the first Charley Patton song that Hart ever learned, InchScreamin' and Hollerin'.Inch Even the original compositions here are steeped in history, albeit personal history. Harris wrote InchWhat's That I Smell?Inch with his time spent in New Orleans in mind-specifically, his nights playing in a joint called The Funky Butt. Davis laments the necessity of a life on the road, away from family, in the disarmingly confessional InchSee Me When You Can.Inch And Hart drew inspiration from another great bluesman, his friend Henry Townsend (who died in 2006 at the age of 96), to write InchIf the Blues Was Money,Inch which he performs here on a Sears Silvertone-branded 1950s Kay flat-top guitar. Raw, heartfelt and sounding absolutely nothing like a dusty museum piece, Fight On! True Blues Vol. 2 is a loving celebration of shared music and friendship, a long-dreamed-about project that now, countless tours and conversations later finally arrives. Album Tracks 1. We Are Almost Down to the Shore (Fight on) 2. Screamin' and Hollerin' the Blues 3. See Me When You Can 4. Wh

With Open Up Your Senses, his highly anticipated debut album, Tyreek McDole makes a bold statement as one of the most compelling young jazz vocalists of his generation. A rich baritone with a deep connection to the jazz tradition, McDole draws inspiration from legendary predecessors like Johnny Hartman and Leon Thomas while carving out a distinctly original voice. His collaboration with exceptional musicians - including pianists Kenny Barron and Sullivan Fortner - brings an adventurous spirit to the album, blending classic jazz influences with innovative harmonies. McDole brings forth introspective themes, with a repertoire that stretches beyond standard love songs and delves in the realms of philosophy, heritage, and cultural reflection. From his striking interpretation of Thelonious Monk's InchUgly BeautyInch to the powerful chant-like resonance of InchThe Creator Has a Master PlanInch, McDole delivers a deeply expressive and contemporary musical experience that urges listeners to engage, reflect, and truly open up their senses. Album Tracks 1. The Creator Has a Master Plan (Intro) 2. The Creator Has a Master Plan 3. The Sun Song (Precious Energy) 4. Won't You Open Up Your Senses 5. Love Is a Four-Letter Word 6. The Backward Step 7. Ugly Beauty 8. The Umbrella Man 9. Somalia Rose 10. Wongolo Wale 11. Won't You Open Up Your Senses 12. Under a Blanket of Blue 13. Everyday I Have the Blues 14.

![Mark Hummel - True Believer - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/f6fa213e-e2b2-427e-bf7c-ad2f6686f52c.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Most of the tunes on InchTrue BelieverInch are Hummel originals that, in the best blues tradition, offer some pungent commentary on today's world, from the cold impersonality of technology (InchGhostedInch) to the current state of humanity (InchHigh Time for the DevilInch) to the lowlife who steals your parking spot (InchMr. Two ThirdsInch). We also get a feel for Mark's wide-ranging musical influences as he puts his own stamp on tunes by Elvin Bishop, Otis Rush, BB King, Fleetwood Mac, and Little Walter. Hummel's brilliant harp work is featured throughout InchTrue Believer,Inch with his searing amplified playing on InchHigh Time for the Devil,Inch his third-position mastery on InchGhosted,Inch and his beautiful chromatic work on InchYou're Breaking My HeartInch being particularly impressive. Junior Watson demonstrates once again why he is one of the most exciting guitarists anywhere with his playing on InchDouble TroubleInch and InchStop Messin' Around,Inch and Bob Welch's piano makes InchHeaded for a HeartacheInch a special cut. No blues band goes anywhere without a first-class rhythm section, and Roy Bermudes and drummer Wes Starr are all that and more. Album Tracks 1. High Time for the Devil 2. Ghosted 3. Headed for a Heartache 4. Double Trouble 5. What the Hell 6. Jackknifed 7. Stop Messin Round 8. Broken Heart 9. Who 10. Mr Two/Thirds 11. The Toddle 12. Lil Electric Guitar 13. Shufflin Days
