Heritage Blues Orchestra - And Still I Rise album flac

And Still I Rise, the debut album from the Heritage Blues Orchestra, set to be released on February 28, takes the listener on a musical journey that encompasses the history of the blues. As the listener journeys from work songs in the field to a small country church, to the back porch of a small southern home, to a blues club in the city, he finds himself enraptured by the beauty, tastefulness, delicacy and simple sophistication that is the blues.

And Still I Rise features mostly old blues material given a serious jolt of modernist energy, but without sacrificing any of the original character. The Heritage Blues Orchestra are like a more potent Carolina Chocolate Drops, their basic guitar, harmonica and handclap grooves given further colour and character by bustling drums and the inventive horn arrangements of French saxist Bruno Wilhelm. Their potent thump, twang and honk injects wallop into Son House's "Clarksdale Moan" and a fast, hard-rolling feel to Muddy Waters's "Catfish Blues"
