Synopsis

Album Description

Blues guitarist Dave Specter is never prone to grandstanding. He communicates an inherent sense of style and form, subtlety and swing, keeping his magnetic needle always fixed on a steady, unalterable course. Recorded live at Buddy Guy's Legends and Rosa's Blues Lounge, Live In Chicago features special guests Jimmy Johnson, Tad Robinson and Sharon Lewis. The CD contains four instrumentals and two songs by each of the guest vocalists. There is also a DVD available of these performances that includes more tracks and other features.

(4 out of 5 stars)

"This is a great live blues album. Dave Specter is one of the better current modern day artist keeping the Chicago Blues sound alive and well. Dave has a sound that is blues at its core, but a touch jazzy (check out the openning instrumental). While Dave doesn't sing he brings in lots of help with the likes of Tab Robinson, Jimmy Johnson and Sharon Lewis all providing vocal tracks. The mix of guest makes this a bit like The Last Waltz in terms of listening experience, which is a real treat. This album is great and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to update their blues collection."
