"The legendary blues pianist Henry Gray has collaborated with harmonica
ace Bob Corritore since 1996. The visceral musical cohesiveness and
their long standing musical bond has produced consistently stunning
recordings that are steeped in purity and tradition. With Henry’s recent
90th birthday (born January 19, 1925), Bob Corritore took it upon
himself to share some of these true musical gems from his seemingly
infinite recording vaults. The first volume presents a 14 song selection
recorded over a 19 year period, in which all but 4 tracks are
previously unissued. Henry sings 9 of these selections and Robert Jr.
Lockwood, John Brim, NappyBrown, Tail Dragger, and Dave Riley provide
one vocal each. At the core of each of these songs are the Gray and
Corritore team who demonstrate their robust musical prowess and
understated taste. Joining the proceedings are a rotating lineup of some
of the blues’ greatest musicians for a program of fully-realized songs
that alternate between rollicking, partying jumps and shuffles to the
deepest of blues!"
