Linda
Strong
- Blues Woman indigo smacking a mean spoken word riff over
the collective walls that surround our souls.
In
Watersnake Blues, Linda's poetry, joined
by jazz, blues, Native American and world music, magic trances
the listener on a hypnotic journey through blues landscapes
both ancient and modern.
In
her "Rattlesnake Blues" and "Watersnake Blues"
cuts, humor, sensuality and totemic symbols combine to blow
the blues wide open.
"Black
Ice", "Plastic Tablecloth Blues", and "Road
Kill" rocket the blues right into the 21st century.
And "Joy in the Morning" and "Sideways Rain
Blues" lay out a defiant, uplifting, and inspirational
take on the earthy world of the blues.
This
CD comes packaged in a FREE Watersnake Blues Booklet.
Linda's uniquely expressive delivery floats over the smokey
and sensual music making Watersnake Blues a album
that is built up from the ground and goes the distance for
your repeated listening pleasure.
