Dance Your Blues Away!

“Blues like it used to be, powerful and straight ahead, great vocals and musicianship.” In a few words that’s Blues Cadillac. No fancy words or long explanations needed.

It may have been some time since you’ve experienced Blues with the force and conviction of Blues Cadillac. Their sound – their feeling – draws on the fire and intensity of mid-1950’s recordings and performances, one of the most interesting and exciting periods in Blues. Blues Cadillac celebrates the spirit of that tradition in their performances. Their reinterpretation of this classic Blues sound is charged with originality, not copied note for note.

Blues as we know it started in the rural South. A solo tradition of guitar player/singer, perhaps with a harmonica player. In the late 1940’s and early 1950’s, Blues history was rewritten. Older country-styled Blues songs were translated to electric instruments and to ensemble playing rather than the solo framework. The power and vitality of these postwar Bluesmen and their bands transformed and expanded the Blues vocabulary. Blues Cadillac partakes of the passion and energy of those Blues masters.

Just as Elmore James and Muddy Waters reinterpreted their rural Blues heritage, so Blues Cadillac adapts and reanimates the sound and spirit of the postwar Chicago Blues scene. Check it out. “Come for a cruise, in the Blues Cadillac.”
