CHICAGO BLUES REUNION is a collaboration of Chicago music legends who defined the sound of their generation in the 1960’s. During that time, they helped create the historic transition in popular music from acoustic folk to electric blues-influenced rock. For four decades they have continued to be an inspiration to the younger generations that followed their trail blazing path. Last year, these legends joined forces once again and the result is BURIED ALIVE IN THE BLUES, a two disc set (audio CD & 60 minute DVD) from Out The Box Records. This set is a lasting document of their musical and cultural legacy showcased in a kick ass performance recorded live! The release date is set for July 12, 2005. The band is a who’s who of blues lovers’ household names: Barry Goldberg, Nick “The Greek” Gravenites, Harvey “The Snake” Mandel, Tracy Nelson, Sam Lay, Corky Siegel, with backing by band of top flight pros including Gary Mallaber, Rick Reed and Zach Wagner. CHICAGO BLUES REUNION came back to Chicago in 2004 for a limited number of performances, one of which was a blazing night at Fitzgerald’s, a venue that has become a beacon for blues fans over the years. The performance was documented for this release and an anticipated film. BURIED ALIVE IN THE BLUES package is both a 14 track audio keepsake of the music history these veterans again made that night, as well as providing deep insight into the time and social milieu that spawned a revolution in sound and style. The 60 minute DVD features 30 minutes of music and 30 minutes of interviews with the CBR bandmates, plus on-screen recollections and commentary from Blues Great BB King, Buddy Guy, Kyle Riabko and others telling the North Side Chicago blues story of the 60’s. The DVD also includes a “Collector’s Photo Gallery” that offers many never before seen photographs of the band members with their friends and influences including Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Dylan, Janis Joplin, John Mayall, Canned Heat and others. CHICAGO BLUES REUNION will embark on a 24 market tour upon release of BURIED ALIVE IN THE BLUES, recreating the excitement on stage that is heard on the CD & DVD in this extraordinary audio and video document. Dates include Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York and, of course, Chicago.
