"Since blues music has been "noticed" by white-folks, many wellmeaning people have equated those two differing stances, which has led to the commonplace definitions [and misunderstandings] for the term "blues". Albert Murray demolishes this equation , indicating that "blues music" is that music of the Saturday Night Function- good time music that is ideal for dancing. And that is not the same thing as "blues as such" [or blues as an attitude or mind-set]- the phrase "singing the blues" exists both on a metaphoric and a literal level, and the two levels are not the same. This CD presents three practitioners of "blues as music", men who sing and play this wonderful Afro-American mode of musical expression."
