210 095. The Blues Band. Back For More ‎(LP, Album). Back For More ‎(CD, Album, RE). Repertoire Records.

Saw this wonderful band last night, 38 years on the road and still one of the best blues acts in the world. The is the Big Blues Band, horns,keyboards all live at the Town and Country Club, and I a cracking live set over the two discs. Recorded just after the 'Fat City' album hit the market many of the songs from it come in this set, several of the extra musicians here also performed on that album. The sound is first class, and with a mix of their own songs,some great blues covers, what more could you want. download (mp3 @320 kbs): yandex mediafire ulozto bayfiles.

When the Blues Band got together in 1979, they caused a sensation that astonished both group and record industry. Fans flocked to hear Paul Jones, Tom McGuinness and pals playing R&B favourites with all the enthusiasm inherited from their former Manfred Mann days in the 1960s. This 2CD set provides an overview of the band’s output over three decades. Among the 41 tracks, taken from 13 albums, are richly satisfying performances from early works ‘Official Blues Band Bootleg’ and ‘Ready’, spiced with stomping versions of classics like ‘I Go Crazy’ and ‘Tobacco Road’. There are also songs from the acoustic ‘Wire Less’ album and delights from a more recent Ray Charles tribute set, ‘Thank You Brother Ray‘. This essential compilation has authoritative liner notes by Repertoire’s Chris Welch, with a new and informative interview with founding member Tom McGuinness. It’s the best way to hear all aspects of the blues, revived, refreshed and played with authentic passion by great musicians on this newly compiled and re-mastered compilation!

The Blues Band is a virtual who's who of the British blues scene. An '80s supergroup of sorts, the band consists of Paul Jones, solo artist and former member of Manfred Mann (lead vocals and harmonica ); Dave Kelly, solo artist and former member of the John Dummer Blues band (lead vocals and slide guitar); Tom McGuinness, former member of Manfred Mann and McGuinness Flint (lead guitar and back-up vocals). Hughie Flint, also former McGuinness Flint (drums); and Gary Fletcher, formerly of Sam Apple Pie (bass and backup vocals). The Blues Band became so popular that they got together as a permanent unit and recorded another album in 1980 called Ready. This release is a part of BGO's reissue program of the Blues Band's original albums in the 2 on 1 CD series. This two-CD set has been remastered from original master tapes and features the original artwork of both albums and additional sleeve notes written by noted British rock writer John Tobler and bandmember Tom McGuinness detailing the history of the band and the albums.
