Artist: Kim Simmonds Producer: Nigel Williamson (Compilation) Distributor: Ryko Distribution Notes: While "revival" may be a bit of a misnomer when applied to a style that never went away, THE ROUGH GUIDE TO BLUES REVIVAL nevertheless assembles a pretty accurate sonic snapshot of the contemporary blues scene. You get everything from guitar heroes like Robben Ford to soulful belters like Shemekia Copeland, but this collection isn't limited to one generation. Older artists who remained relevant and active in a new era, like New Orleans R&B queen Irma Thomas and gospel group The Blind Boys of Alabama, are also represented. A bonus disc that takes things global with a collection of songs by Malian "bluesman" Samba Toure provides an interesting left-field touch.
Dirty Linen (p.55) - "[T]here's something for everyone in this blues groove mix: funky jazzy blues by Robben Ford, British dirty blues by Savoy Brown featuring Kim Simmonds, swampy country blues from Eric Bibb, and some mean, smokin' Texas blues by Doyle Bramhall."
