Corritore, Bob & Friends - Early Blues Sessions CD

This compilation is a brilliant survey of some of the early recorded work showcasing Bob Corritore‘s dedication to recording the real-deal blues by it’s originators. The sixteen tracks were recorded between 1984 and 2007, and include many remixed and previously unreleased gems. Most of the artists featured on this album are no longer with us, but their recordings will live on forever.
Bob always had his eye on the prize and took great artists into the studio whenever possible. Once he opened the Rhythm Room in 1991 he realized that there would be a pipeline of amazing artists coming through to play at his nightclub. He took the opportunity not only to book them, but to offer them some additional work in the recording studio.
Years later, the results of those efforts are here for us to celebrate. Legends such as Lowell Fulson, Little Milton, Jimmy Rogers, Robert Lockwood, Sam Lay, Henry Gray, Pinetop Perkins and others grace this album with powerful performances. And Bob Corritore was there to wrap his song-serving harmonica work and production around each of the tracks. The results are a survey of the brilliance of the old-school style of blues. Thank you, Bob Corritore for preserving the blues legacy with your caring, artful touch.
