Golub,Jeff Blues For You CD

With his stellar reputation as a contemporary jazz guitarist firmly established, Jeff Golub expands his creative horizons and potential popular appeal with his first album for E1 Music: The jazz/blues/rock breakthrough BLUES FOR YOU. It's not as much of a stretch as it seems. Jeff's earliest influences were the great bluesmen of the 60s: Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters; and the rockers who they idolized: Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix. After discovering Wes Montgomery to complete his cycle of mentors, Golub hit the road with Rod Stewart and Billy Squier, further developing his rock chops, before taking the jazz path full-time with his group Avenue Blue and his own solo work. BLUES FOR YOU brings everything full circle. Produced by John Porter (Los Lonely Boys, Ryan Adams, Buddy Guy), the album brilliantly maintains Jeff's jazz identity, while traveling to territory that any fan of blues-rock will find a real pleasure to visit. Making the trip with Jeff are no less than four classic rock vocalists: Golubs former employer Billy Squier, Triple-A radio favorite Marc Cohn, fan favorite John Waite, and the legendary Peter Wolf. Blend in seven soulful instrumental's that connect the jazz dots in the funky tradition of the Crusaders and T-Bone Walker, and you have a total package that moves from the roots to the fruits, bringing Jeff Golub into a new dimension of guitar mastery.
