Album Notes

Osgood & Blaque Blues Band: Rebirth of the Blues, introduces an amazing collection of funky soul-blues. "Walkin' My Way Back Home", a beautiful realease set in rural Mississippi, tells the story of the blues highwayman who finds his niche' in a bottle of whiskey and a good time around family and friends. It opens with the line: "Down in the country. Back up in the bend. Out by the river and around all my kin. We got a thing that the people always do. Throw on some good music and break out the barbecue . And I'm gone; it won't be long. I'm walkin' my way back home". With regard to "High Steppin' Daddy, "She's A Good'un" and "Why Is It So Hard", combine a funky beat and repetitive lyrics that pull you to the dance floor. The feel and mood of "Good Thing Blues", "My Blues" and "Meet Me At The Crossroad", reflect an era inspired by real experiences living in and around the river regions of the Mississippi delta including Vicksburg (Mississippi River) and Crystal Springs (Pearl River). "The blues influences evident in those areas during the early half of the twentieth century still exert a strong presence now".-Artistopia Music, 2007 If you wanna know how a blues band formed in the spring of 2003 ends up on a blues marker in Mississippi as early as 2009, then you gotta give this band some credit. The overall recording is not that great. But if you're looking for a great addition to your vintage blues music collection, this is the one: "Osgood & Blaque Blues Band: Rebirth of the Blues".
