The Last Real Texas Blues Album (Various Artists)

Antone's is 50 this year. That's 50 years of Blues at Antone's. That's 31 years of Clifford Antone laying the ground work, and 19 years trying to carry on his mission. That is 'playing the blues', but it's deeper; it's celebrating folks who deserve greater recognition. Putting them in the spotlight and giving them their flowers. It's finding the right young artists to pair with them and establishing torch carriers. This album encapsulates that mission. It is "The Last Real Texas Blues Album." This album features an amazing assortment of artists covering, jamming and reinterpreting a deep catalog of classic blues songs. Recorded at Arlyn Studios in Austin, TX with a host of incredible Texas Blues musicians, this album defines and celebrates the history of Texas blues.
