Roomful Of Blues continues to deliver its bone-shaking mix of original songs and carefully chosen covers ranging from jump, swing and proto rock ‘n’ roll to funky, contemporary blues. Their impeccable musicianship and larger-than-life vocals have earned Roomful five Grammy Award nominations and a slew of other accolades, including seven Blues Music Awards. Twice, the prestigious DownBeat International Critics’ Poll has selected them as Best Blues Band.
IN A ROOMFUL OF BLUES reveals a famed band hitting stride yet again with 11 new original songs, plus a couple of R&B chestnuts originally recorded by Doc Pomus and Buddy Ace. It’s an engaging, exuberant collection that is equal parts deft sophistication and roadhouse raunch, as comfortable deep in the blues as rockin’ down the house, and all powered by blistering guitar, driving horns and commanding vocals.
