Recorded on December 7, 2005, at the Underground in Koln (Cologne), Germany, the night after Sue Foley's brilliant Live in Europe was tracked as part of the BluesCaravan tour, BluesCaravan: The New Generation delivers as powerful a set as Foley herself. The concept gets rather confusing, as Sue Foley is part of the "Blues Guitar Women" on the BluesCaravan tour while this trio of musicians (which recorded the album Pilgrimage -- a disc featuring a song they all co-wrote entitled "Blues Caravan") appears at the famous Rockpalast as Blues Caravan: The New Generation. It's a powerful two-plus-hour concert with five additional musicians augmenting the convergence of the three main talents, Aynsley Lister, Erja Lyytinen, and Ian Parker. The playing is rock-solid and superb. These young talents have a sound unto themselves and the fun pours off the disc with wild abandon. The DVD itself is quite deep, with all 21 titles individually available for play on the track list along with bonus material including a five-and-a-half-minute backstage film, photo gallery, and close to a 24-minute interview including the trio performing live and acoustically. The interviewer calls them "the future of the blues in the 21st century," and one can't dispute that seeming hyperbole. During the full concert they hold the audience's attention singing a cappella as well as cranking it up on-stage. Producer/director Christian Wagner has the eye, and the sound captured by Thomas Sehringer is also outstanding. This is a real find that should turn people on to the work of each of the individual talents (their own websites are listed inside the liners to this excellent package). ~ Joe Viglione|
