The new material is phenomenal! Sugar Blue, backed by the talents of Rico McFarland, James Knowles and Jesse Cross laid the new tracks in Sweet Home Chicago. Additional work has been recorded and mixed in Paris and Milan and the result is a very diverse, soulful, mature and powerful work. Some songs are pure Sugar Blue, harmonica raging like a lion and cutting like a razor! Sensuous sounds and simmering melodies, rock solid rythms to groove you to the bone! There are chromatic harp solos and stark new concepts that reflect his renewed creative fire and continued commitment to cutting edge creativity. His vocals mellow yet ferocious have grown. His lyrics are profound, introspective and outward looking at the same time. CODE BLUE brings on the resurgence of one of harmonica's great masters! CODE BLUE comes from the heart of tradition and the soul of an innovator!!
