Clifton’s Corner :: Volume Eight – Blues Heaven (Pt. 1)

Sat, January 07 2012 8:34pm - Source: Aquarium Drunkard

(Volume eight of Clifton's Corner. When I was compiling the British R&B edition of Clifton's Corner and tracing songs back to the originals, I was reminded of my first love – Blues. These days, I rarely get to indulge my love of the blues. To most ears, its archaic. Few blues songs are dance club floor fillers. So, I neglected it for a while. After the death of Hubert Sumlin (Howlin' Wolf's longtime guitarist), I began, in earnest, to delve back into it. Willie Dixon once stated, "The blues are the roots and the other musics are the fruits. It's better keeping the roots alive, because it means better fruits from now on. The blues are the roots of all American music. As long as American music survives, so will the blues." In this installment, I'm tending to the roots, so to speak.

The album title (Spanish for "the road" or "the way") refers instead to the notion of pilgrimage: the humble minivan shown is the one in which the band spent the first two years of its existence, criss-crossing America on an endless string of shows, slowly building up the fanbase – and the expertise – which led them to the Grammy-winning success of Brothers and further still, to the 11 tracks which make up this tremendous, hook-laden, all-killer-no-filler collection, by some distance the most powerful, compelling rock album of the year.
