Why This CD Matters
The Blues Project combined electric blues with folk, rock, and jazz influences, and this compilation gathers music from the band’s 1960s albums. Al Kooper’s “Flute Thing” and “I Can’t Keep From Crying” show the group’s mix of instrumental exploration and blues roots. The CD also closes with a live 1973 reunion performance of “Flute Thing.”
