Features: DVD
The Blues is a life force for the Chicago Blues Reunion, a grouping of blues greats who, for five decades, have dominated the genre. Buried Alive in the Blues celebrates this uniquely American art form through the music, words and soul of Barry Goldberg, Nick Gravenites, Sam Lay, Harvey Mandel, Tracy Nelson and Corky Siegel. Their inspiration from and relationships with Paul Butterfield, Mike Bloomfield, The Electric Flag, Bob Dylan, Canned Heat, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Guy, Steve Miller, B.B. King and many other giants are explored through evocative performances, oral histories and archive film and stills. It's both a treasure trove of blues history and house rockin' music.

| | Professional Reviews | DVD Verdict 9 of 10
The pedigree of each member of the reunion band, Chicago Blues Reunion, is impressive. Even if you don't know the names...you've surely heard a record on which each of them has played. They've played with the Rolling Stones, Canned Heat, Bob Dylan, Big Brother and the Holding Company, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, and John Mayall, among others. The question, then, is how do these players fare without all of the deceased legends that they backed? The answer, not surprisingly, is that they manage...fans of the blues-rock scene of the '60s and '70s, and those with an interest in the history and development of the music of that era, will find a lot here to interest them. It's mostly on the DVD and in the accompanying booklet, which contains small reprints of '60s posters and photos of the musicians in their younger, hairier days. - Neal Solon
