For the first time in her career, blues diva Dana Gillespie releases a live album.
After four studio sets for Ace, dating back to 1982s "Blue Job", this mid-price CD is released in response to the demand by her audiences around the world.
Recorded with the London Blues Band in Poole in 2006, the set features the dynamic guitar skills of Dino Baptiste.
Of the 12 numbers, eight are written by Dana, testimony to the tribute paid to her by old friend Bob Dylan, who told her "I love your songwriting".
This CD shows why Dana and the Band have become "must have" fixtures at festivals all over the world, from Bombay to Seoul and from Singapore to Hell in Norway.
No fancy studio tweaks are used here. Dana and the Band cut the mustard, with the very highest level of musicianship spiced up with a lot of fun to create this straight-ahead record of a fabulous gig from a great singer with a great band.
