Gonna steal this right off the CD liner notes.

“Harkening back to his late Forties big-band blues recordings, Clarence Gatemouth Brown celebrates his 50 years of great music making.”

This is the kinda stuff you hope and pray to stumble across late at night when you’re out on the town. In Chicago. In a little club that hardly holds a hundred people. Sometimes you get lucky. But even if you don’t get lucky in Chicago, you can certainly get this CD. Go get it.
