VA - Blues Harp Meltdown - Vol 3 Legends (2 CD, 2006/FLAC)

 

Latest since Mountain Top's first 2-CD sets in this series, Mark Hummel's annual blues meltdown concerts are well-known, also on this side of the Atlantic. In 2004 the focus was on 'Legends' like Carey Bell and Lazy Lester. As you may imagine, you won't hear the blues' next generaton. This is traditional style as good as can be, performed by some of the old masters. Backing is supplied by Mark Huimmel's band, plus guest Steve Freund. 

Recorded live at Moe's Alley, Santa Cruz, CA. - January 11, 2004'
