Product Description
Blues Lounge
Album Description
Blues Lounge is an innovative collection of traditional blues tracks remixed and reinterpreted by cutting-edge electronica DJs and producers.The combination of modern electronica with the soul and spirit of the blues blends seemingly incongruent worlds to create a fresh and exciting new sound. Blues Lounge joins World Lounge, Euro Lounge, and Sahara Lounge as the latest addition to Putumayo’s Lounge series, a successful collection of releases that explores new directions in world and roots music. It is also Putumayo’s fourth blues-themed release (Mali to Memphis, Mississippi Blues and American Blues).

Electronica superstar Moby was one of the first to reveal the exciting results that come from fusing the soul of rootsy blues with modern electronica and dance music. His gospel-flavored track "Run On" is featured on Blues Lounge. European DJs/producers Mo’ Horizons and Boozou Bajou from Germany and Belgium’s Gare du Nord have used samples of older blues recordings and worked with contemporary blues and soul singers and musicians to produce their accessible club music. In the United States, the Fat Possum label from Oxford, Mississippi has been teaming up blues musicians with innovative producers such as Britain’s Adrian Sherwood and Atlanta’s Organized Noize. Tracks on Blues Lounge featuring the vocals of Little Axe and Johnny Farmer represent these bold new directions in blues music. The New York City DJ collective Organic Grooves derives its inspiration from a wide variety of roots and world music sources. Blues Lounge also includes two tracks from Tangle Eye, a team of New Orleans-based remixers who use samples of original vocal performances collected by musicologist Alan Lomax in the American South of the 1940s and 1960s.

4 of 5 stars  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.

5 of 5 stars  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.
