His performance on the title track is marvelously lazy and laid-back throughout this bluesy album, which also features Green's band, the Splinter Group, including Nigel Watson. Dr. John, Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, Hubert Sumlin, and Joe Louis Walker all make guest appearances on the album, along with Honey Boy Edwards, who knew and performed with Robert Johnson…
Blues is recognized as one of the musical genres that had the greatest influence on the musical history of the past century, becoming staple precursor and even integrated into genres like jazz, rock, country and pop. Blues has always been considered a feeling. This double album gives a compilation of some of the major themes of famous performers in the genre, classical and modern, such as John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, B. B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan or The Black Crowes among others. The launch of the work was done about the celebration in the USA of 'Year of the Blues'.
