Antone's 50th Presents: Chicago Bound - Honoring Muddy, Cliff And Blue - CD

ANTONE'S 50th: CHICAGO BOUND - HONORING / Various Artists Live-to-tape recordings produced by Jacob Sciba and Zach Ernst include tracks by blues heavyweights John Primer, Doyle Bramhall II, Kim Wilson & the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Anson Funderburgh, Lurrie Bell, and Lavelle White. Other highlights feature a Bobby Bland classic cut in Memphis by powerhouse Houston vocalist Kam Franklin and backed by Bobby's son and drummer Rodd Bland, and a Clifton Chenier deep cut led by Louisiana torchbearers Ivan Neville and CC Adcock with Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood, featuring Jimmie Vaughan on harmonica. A walloping shuffle in the works since the Rolling Stones contributed to the LP A Tribute to the King of Zydeco last year, the song was made complete by Jimmie Vaughan's ace harmonica playing, a secret weapon that Austin's reigning king of the Stratocaster has kept close to the vest for most of his professional career.
