notes
HIGHWAY 61 rolls on for over 800 long miles, all the way from the Mississippi Delta to the Windy City of Chicago. This road is Known as the Blues Highway, because it carried so many of the outh's Blues legends from their roots in towns like larksdale and Greenville all the way to the big city. Their original music went through some interesting changes along the way.
GREG BARKER AND HIGHWAY 61 are Bluesmen who have managed to capture the many flavors and styles of that long stretch of highway. From gutbucket Mississippi swamp blues to Chicago style "jump" blues, if you can say it, they
can play it. With collective musical experience totaling over 150 years, these guys love the Blues! In addition to their own original work, they play tunes made famous by artists from Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf to contemporary
Blues giants like Charley Musselwhite and Tommy Castro. Sit back and savor a tasty Blues gumbo with Greg Barker and Highway 61.

Just wanted to say if you haven't bought this album yet, get it. I saw this band at Sweet Jimmie's in Oakland Ca. and they were great. The female vocalist was killer, I had a chance to see them again at a club in Fresno can't remember the name. They has some new members, wow, I just found out about this website this is great. Any way if you haven't bought it yet buy it. I can't wait for number two.
I saw these guys in concert yesterday and they put on a good show.
