Billy Branch And The Sons Of Blues - Blues Shock (2014) MP3 320

Blues Shock represents the first studio-recorded release in nearly fifteen years from veterans Billy Branch and the Sons of Blues, and their first for Blind Pig. The result is a fascinating mix of daring, and full-bodied new compositions and fresh-sounding standards that followers have long savored at their live shows.

Billy Branch, a fire-kissed harp-playing protegé of blues great Willie Dixon, took some 15 years between studio recordings not because of some lack of creative impetus. Instead, Branch was waiting for a new sound to come together. Finally, with Blues Shock (January 21, 2014 via Blind Pig), it did: Branch and his regular working group the Sons of Blues have constructed a daring new release, one that blends a series of tough-minded, cliche-free originals with inventively re imagined takes on classic tracks — never giving an inch to age, convention or expectations.
