25 Minute Blues Workout CD Releases on April 15th, 2005
I'm excited about the release of my 25 Minute Blues Workout CD. I thought it would be cool if my students could practice guitar soloing like we do in our lesson sessions. So, I went into the studio with some of my Chicago Blues musician friends and recorded a CD that my students could jam with at home. I had my friend and colleague, Bruce Altice, founder of The Blues School at the Old Town School of Folk Music, test it out and he had a blast playing along with it!
Practice soloing on 12 different Blues tunes based on Blues classics that I played on the road and in Chicago clubs as a freelance gun-for-hire guitarist for Chicago Blues legends Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, Little Smoky Smothers, Big Time Sarah, Nate Turner, Buddy Scott, and Sam Good. The tracks were recorded live with musicians that I've played with on these gigs over the years. Every tune on the CD is in a different key so you'll be prepared and won't blow your Blues audition!
