I have just had the pleasure of listening to the new Bluesfest CD. It contains 18 tracks by some of the best artists who have played Bluesfest over the years- as well as this year. I must say that in my humble opinion it is the best compilation Bluesfest has had to date. Every song is a beauty, and it also includes the first track released so far, as far as I know by Ben Harper and Relentless7 - which is a Rock Blues scorcher. The CD is also one, where the record company has allowed me to have a lot if input into the material contained on the CD, and I believe it gives a very good overall soundscape of what we are about. I thorouglhy recommend it, and I believe it will be available from next week. It will bring a lot of great memories, and is perfect accompaniment for you, if you have a long drive home from the festival. Enjoy peter Noble bluesfest
