Good Liquor 3:06
Lay Down by My Side 5:26
Watch Over Me (Guy Davis) 5:05
from Give In Kind 2002
Guy Davis has developed into a consummate bluesman. He's listened hard to classic Delta blues and based his style on it, without ever becoming a carbon copy of the greats... This is the tradition reborn and revitalized. Davis' support is wonderfully sympathetic, but he's completely at the center of things, the motivator and mover of this music, and a purveyor of the real blues. His lineage is obvious, and he's the new generation, doing it right and keeping it real.

Before becoming one of Chicago's hottest electric blues guitarists, Michael Coleman began his career playing alongside James Cotton for nearly a decade. The guitarist joined Cotton's band in 1979 at the age of 23...

The Train (Michael Coleman) 4:38
Do Your Thing! (Isaac Hayes) 7:25
You Don't Have to Go (Jimmy Reed) 7:36
from Do Your Thing! 2000
Do Your Thing! demonstrates that a bluesman doesn't have to be a fantastic vocalist to provide a meaningful album. Best known in Chicago blues circles for his ten years as James Cotton's guitarist, Michael Coleman isn't a singer's singer. He is an adequate singer with a relaxed, laid-back vocal style that owes a lot to Jimmy Reed, but as a guitarist, Coleman obviously has sizable chops. And thankfully, he takes a lot of guitar solos on Do Your Thing!, which has as much to do with pre-1980 soul and funk as it does with electric Chicago blues...

Major British blues bandleader who, starting in London in 1963, featured some of the most successful rock musicians of the '60s and '70s. 
John Mayall And The Bluesbreakers
Don't Turn Your Back (John Mayall) 5:13
Padlock on the Blues (John Mayall) 6:59
Always a Brand New Road (Buddy Whittington / Joe Yuele) 4:07
from Padlock On the Blues 1999
John Mayall's career may be distinguished but it's also been checkered, as he's swung from a celebrated talent scout to a journeyman bandleader. At times, he's in fashion, at others he's not. The late '90s was one of the times when he wasn't in fashion. Because of this, he was one of the first artists who Cleopatra signed when they began to move into high-profile new releases. Padlock on Blues, his first effort for the label and his first album in four years, finds Mayall pulling out all the stops, contributing 11 new tunes and lining up an impressive array of guest stars, including John Lee Hooker, Coco Montoya, and Ernie Watts...
