Red Hot And Blue

Guitarist/vocalist and arch Republican Lee Atwater, along with a star-studded list of soul artists, ignite on 13 blue chip live performances of great R&B songs. Chuck Jackson, Carla Thomas, B.B. King, Isaac Hayes, Sam Moore, and gospel singer Bobby Jones contribute vocals; and Michael Toles, the Memphis Horns, ex-Motown bassist Bob Babbitt and Billy Preston, the music. This pleasing set is set off by Chuck Jackson and Sam Moore's scathing rendition of Hold On I'm Coming; Isaac Hayes' I'm in the Mood; B.B. King's guitar and vocal licks on Red, Hot & Blue and Buzz Me; and Jackson and Carla Thomas' fiery version of Rescue Me. This CD will make for a delightful addition to an R&B collector's stash.
