A distinctly American form of music, the blues is also heartily embraced by performers from all over the globe, a point hit home by this 11-track Putumayo compilation. Although a few U.S. blues luminaries (Bonnie Raitt, Otis Spann, Taj Mahal) appear here, the collection largely consists of international takes on this most primordial of pop musical forms. Highlights include the folk-rooted "Listen My Son" by the India-based group the Unseen Guest and the easy-going "La Flaca" by the Spanish ensemble Jarabe de Palo.   Technical Info Release Date : 07/25/2006 Original Release Date : 2006 Catalog ID : 253 Label : Putumayo Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00790248025322   Professional Reviews Dirty Linen (p.88) - "The influence of the blues has been pervasive and wide-ranging, not to mention international in scale, as this compilation demonstrates."    Related Videos This Time: Robert Cray Ballad Of John Henry Joe ...
