LR009 - Choose Your Blues

Lawless / Rackley Music Publishing www.lawlessrackley.com

There are many ways to play the American blues. Choose Your Blues provides 21 distinct and sometimes forgotten styles of this great American art form. Big band swing to gospel, this album steers away from the stereotypical slow, bending guitar and harmonica (although that is represented). It goes beyond to highlight some of the many other interpretations into clean, stereo mixes that are designed for radio and TV.
**Underscores included in the full album purchase.**
