Blues Across America - Detroit Scene

"This volume represents one of the finest samples of the Detroit blues scene as it exists today. Building on the blues legacy of Hastings St. and such Detroit blues greats as John Lee Hooker, Boogie Woogie Red, Baby Boy Warren and Big Maceo Meriweather, the three Detroit blues acts that you will hear in the CD are among the best that you will hear anywhere!"

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Bassett's style of uptown urban blues will appeal to longtime fans of artists such as Johnny Adams, Bobby "Blue" Bland, B.B. King and the late great T-Bone Walker
  • Clarence and Curtis Butler's down-home harmonica and guitar blues will appeal to fans of the hard driving electric blues of artists like Little Walter Jacobs, Johnny Young and John Lee Hooker
  • Alberta Adams has been heralded by Detroit Blues Magazine (among others!) as the Queen of Detroit Blues; her reign spans more than 40 years and includes appearances with everyone from Duke Ellington's Orchestra to Dinah Washington and Billie Holiday
  • Produced by Ron Levy
