Various Artists – The Last Real Texas Blues Album (CD)

Description

Antones is 50 this year. Thats 50 years of Blues at Antones. 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 its deeper; its celebrating folks who deserve greater recognition. Putting them in the spotlight and giving them their flowers. Its 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.
