This Ain't Your Daddy's Blues...But That's a Good Thing!Monday, February 21, 2005
This album is perfect for those who are not used to the Blues music genre but would like to explore it. If your musical ear is more tuned to popular, beat-based music, this album is a great way to start there and then branch of into pure Blues. The remixed nature of the album uplifts a lot of selections, that, in their typical Blues form, might be considered depressing, which is the reason many don't enjoy listening to the Blues. Give this album a chance, however, and you'll realize that your love for Blues is there because we all have experienced the blues at some point in our lives. This album, then, is the perfect sound track. Enjoy! The Putumayo series has a very dedicated following, and now I "see" why.

the cd that keeps on giving....Tuesday, February 08, 2005
This cd is fantastic, whether you are a big blues fan or not. I loved it the first time I listened to it - it has a raw and funky groove that just keeps you coming back again and again. Each time I listen, I say, "man, I LOVE this cd!" Hopefully, you'll enjoy it as much as I do! It is a truly respectful tribute to old blues standards, while at the same time adding an updated, modern groove that only adds to the power of the tracks.
