JEWISH BLUES VOL. 1 by Saul Kaye
SKU #951385
From Jews crying out in Egyptian slavery to the prophet Jeremiah weeping over the destruction of the Temple, Jews know the pain of spiritual crisis and call to God with their own form of the blues. You can hear it in the synagogue when the Torah and the books of Prophets are read. You can hear it chanted in tropes passed down through time, recounting our forbearers' sorrows on days of tragedy like Tisha B'Av. You can even hear it in the songs celebrating our freedom at Passover, when Jews recall the Israelite's "Song at the Sea," as the waters of freedom parted. Take this Jewish experience and blend it with the African blues tradition that has shaped so much of American culture, add in characters from the Torah, stir in Biblical narratives in the gumbo of African American blues and serve it up as a cross cultural stew. The result is what Saul Kaye calls "Jewish Blues."
Soulful, heartfelt, and powerful, Jewish Blues Volume 1 is a smokin' live recording of Saul Kaye backed by an all-star band playing the stories of Israel: the Old Testament dipped into the Delta. This warm, organic recording has a natural, vintage sound and features rhythmic guitar, piano, upright bass, drums, Delta-style slide guitar, and heartfelt vocals on 12 incredible blues tunes.
