"V.I.H. IV... The Mission Continues" is no longer available in CD format, only mp3s are available. The acoustic blues CD was inspired by the many smaller coffeehouse gigs the band had added to it's schedule. Fans had asked for a CD of acoustic music and the band was only too happy to oblige. From the opening rocking cover of Canned Heat's "Let's Work Together" through the traditional Gospel/blues tunes like "Goin' Over The Hill" and "Let It Shine" the band covers a wide variety of acoustic blues music. Traditional tunes by Muddy Waters, Misssissippi Fred McDowell and Reverend Gary Davis sit comforatbly alongside V.I.H. originals like "Kiss The Blues Goodbye" and "Take Me Home." The CD has an old school blues feel from the front cover to the intentionally lo-fi production which gives the CD a feel of contemporary acoustic blues like Eric Clapton's "Me and Mr. Johnson", keeping one foot in the traditional blues era and the other in the contemporary digital era.
