Our
Blues and Blues Rock department contains a variety of
recordings selected from our main database in excess of 15,000 titles
available worldwide.
We're
NOT 'Blues' experts by any means but have created a separate
'Blues' department so that our customers can browse directly
through the 'genre' instead of having to trawl through a 'General'
department. The department is primarily based on the titles that our
'real' 'Blues' experts - ie. our customers - have purchased
from us in the past.
First and foremost, although we may enjoy hearing some of the albums
that pass though the warehouse, none of the CD Services staff
are what you would call traditional 'Blues' fans. However,
we know what we like and we will 'feature' as much of that as we can.
We're always happy to recommend anything - from artists we're familiar
with (everything from Cream and Robin Trower through
to Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Southern Gentlemen to name
a few) to other music in a similar vein. When it comes to real traditional
'Blues', we're familiar with most of the big name acts and
some of us have a few things in our own collections by the likes of
Robert Johnson, Hubert Sumlin and others. We tend to class
earliest Fleetwood Mac in this bracket too. However, when it
comes to the vast range of acoustic blues, soul-influenced and mellow
areas of the genre, we confess to having limited knowledge but that's
no reason not to feature them here - and all the more reason why you
should ask us for anything you don't see listed.
