I just had the opportunity to listen to the newest release from the Carolyn Fe Blues Collective. This is an excellent example of the evolution of blues music that I often write about. Music, like all species of living things evolve in different ways. This recording has most of the clues of a contemporary blues band, except it shows signs of the post punk indie genre. The blues guitars are there, the blues rhythms are there and some of the vocals are bluesy but the music is more contemporary and actually in mind share similarities with a band called the Yeah Yeah Yeah's. It has a different sound and that's what evolution is all about. If you want to look down a different path of the blues ... and I always advise that... here's one to try.
Enjoy!
