Η ιστορία των blues ηχογραφημένη ζωντανά.

[trivialx]

Δύο δισκάκια με τα highlights από την ιστορική συναυλία στο Radio City Music Hall της Νέας Υόρκης, "Salute to the Blues", πρόκειται να φτάσουν στα δισκοπωλεία το φθινόπωρο.

Η συναυλία που έγινε τον Φεβρουάριο του 2004 θα κυκλοφορήσει σε διπλό άλμπουμ, υπό τον τίτλο "Lightning in a Bottle" από την Columbia/Legacy. Την παραγωγή στο album έκανε ο Martin Scorsese, ο οποίος είχε σκηνοθετήσει και τη σειρά "Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues". Η συναυλία είχε ως σκοπό να ...πεί την ιστορία των blues, όσο το δυνατόν πιο σύντομα.

Τα κέρδη από το CD θα διατεθούν στο Blues Music Foundation.
