Century Of The Blues - Thanks Kevin Doherty for a great song initiating the concept of this CD. Some Bad News - Tom Malone's horn arrangements show how integral the horn section is in taking the blues to another place. Clouds In My Heart - dedicated to Muddy Waters & the influence of "The Band" for their multi-instrumental arrangements. One More Day - for the writers & singers of Sea Shanties & the styles of music they brought to America. Ain't No Fun To Me - to Al Green for his mixture of Gospel, Blues, R'n'B & Rock. Sirens In The Night - remembering those who came to America escaping prejudice & starting record labels. Sittin' In My House - 1930s blues by Bessie Smith - honoring women singers & writers. Out To Lunch Eyes - like the novelty tunes of the 1950s & '60s - a lighter side of the blues. Shake Your Money Maker - guitarist Elmore James - inspirational singing, power & excitement. Ballerina - influenced by Jimi Hendrix - bridging the gap between blues & rock.
