Mix & Dorp Blues & Beat (CD)

'A collection of remixes, reinventions, and rejuvenations' - Producer Jan Mittendorp and engineer Erik Spanjers came up with an exciting project making grandfather's blues sound fresh and contemporary. The focus is on the beat, the monotone groove. Songs are stripped-down to rhythm & groove. It's not about changing the blues. It's just a fun way to show how good this music is sounding in modern times. Excellent. -Original recordings by BOO BOO DAVIS, BIG GEORGE JACKSON, BILLY JONES, HARRISON KENNEDY, and ROSCOE CHENIER.
