Bad Blood In The City: Piety Street Sessions

Description

On BAD BLOOD IN THE CITY: THE PIETY STREET SESSIONS, James Blood Ulmer's most recent collaboration with Vernon Reid and The Memphis Blood Blues Band, it's his own material that carries the day. Built around a cycle of songs address Hurrican Katrina and it's aftermath, Ulmer has delivered one of the most stirring and emotionally powerful albums of his career. There are also a handful of interpretations that serve to further explore Katrina's sub-plot of race, poverty and struggle, including readings of Son House's "Grinnin In Your Face", Junior Kimbrough's "Sad Days Lonely Nights", John Lee Hooker's "This Land is No One's Land", Bessie Smith's "Backwater Blues", Howlin Wolf's "Commit A Crime" and Willie Dixon's "Dead Presidents".
