A New Feature: Bold Brassy Blues Babes!

Just surfed my way over to One Minion’s Opinion, and saw her post on lyrics in music and her link to the website of Blues duo Diana Braithwaite and Chris Whiteley. How the hell did I miss them before?  It’s now #1 on my Christmas list Hell, I’m not waiting for Christmas…

There are three CDs for sale on the Electro-Fi site:

Morning Sun is a collaboration by renowned Blues artists Diana Braithwaite and Chris Whiteley. A tribute to the classic blues sounds of the 30’s and 40’s, “Morning Sun” is a collection of original acoustic compositions that are both contemporary and traditional. “We were inspired by such greats as Memphis Minnie, Tampa Red, Lonnie Johnson, Bessie Smith, Big Bill Broonzy and the famous “Bluebird” record sound”, singer/songwriters Braithwaite and Whiteley relate. “We wanted to produce an album that embraces a time honoured sound while retaining it’s own originality”.

Night Bird Blues is the next chapter in Diana Braithwaite & Chris Whiteley’s wide ranging tribute to the Blues of the 1930’s and 40’s. Once again they have chosen to take an acoustic and original approach. Their horizons have expanded to not only include the “Bluebird” sound so lovingly captured on their widely acclaimed “MORNING SUN” CD, but also to pay tribute to and affectionately evoke some of the smoother Blues classics of that era. The songs are all original compositions; the singing and playing is top notch. The result is Night Bird Blues.

 

"DeltaPhonic" is Electric and Eclectic Vintage Blues Music from the Award Winning Duo of DIANA BRAITHWAITE & CHRIS WHITELEY. On this new album, their 3rd for Electro-Fi, Chris and Diana delve deeply into their love of the Blues Music of the 1930’s and 40’s, this time also including an electric edge to the proceedings as they also pay tribute to the Chicago Blues.

 

Absolutely great stuff! Heard a track from DeltaPhonic on CBC or CKUA the other day. My favourite new (old) Blues! The pair will be playing in Calgary sometime soon, but I missed the details.
