Spontaneously produced non-profit release on the occasion of the global lockdown and shutdown triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic. - More than thirty musicians from eight nations recorded 25 tracks in their homes and shared them with international colleagues, who in turn added their contribution. - Virtual sessions emerged with some amazing results! - Stylistically, the spectrum ranges from acoustic contributions, boogie woogie and lowdown blues to luscious R&B with powerful horn sections. - Graphic designer, sound engineer, producer, promo agency and label a. o. waive a fee in favor of the participating musicians, all net proceeds from sales go to the artists' accounts! - Elegant 6-page digisleeve with 24-page booklet with biographies of the participating artists. - Notes by Dirk Fohrs (bluesnews. De) and Bill Dahl from Chicago. They say necessity is the mother of invention. Right now, we're seeing plenty of evidence of that. The effects of the ongoing Corona crisis have forced many of us to scramble and that includes blues musicians: With the closure of live music venues and cancellation of major festivals, they've seen their main source of income dry up overnight. Many of them have taken to extraordinary measures to make ends meet, like the countless living room concerts being live-streamed on social media. Denied the chance to perform in front of audiences, it's their virtual way of passing the hat - and whatever goes in helps each musician survive these tough times. On the surface, 'Lockdown Sessions' came about for similar reasons. The musicians involved are facing the same problems. Yet this border-crossing production is far more than a mere call for support. It's a one-of-a-kind double CD that brings together more than 30 acclaimed blues practitioners from all over the world, who've united to combat cabin fever and transcend physical separation while the world is on lockdown. The project was spearheaded by Roger C. Wade.
