L'orchestra di Count Basie, sotto la direzione di Scotty Barnhart, interpreta il blues in maniera non convenzionale, mischiandolo a leggere influenze jazz e decise dosi di swing. E lo fa con le voci di Buddy Guy, Charlie Musselwhite, Bettye Lavette, George Benson, Castro Coleman, Shemekia Copeland, Robert Cray, Jamie Davis, Charlton Johnson, Ledisi, Keb' Mo', Bobby Rush ed altri.Con brani come Stormy Monday, Let's Have a Good Time, Down Home Blues, Rock Candy, In The Midnight Hour, Dirty Mississippi Blues, Look What You've Done etc. Vinile stampa Usa, 180 grammi.
