Personal, Sound Rich
This is a noble portrait--and worth listening to for the music alone. Having grown up in Chicago the Blues was the enforced sountrack of my life--as soon as I had a say in what I listened to Blue was banished from the spectrum. BUT this piece leaves me thinking that was a big mistake. Captain Luke's singing is lyrical--his remembrances of the 50's and 60's music scene are compelling. And, like a great song, a world is revealed in about 4 minutes. This is perfect for "All Things Considered," a show about music, or the artistic process, and so on.--Chelsea Merz
