Review

Terry Blade can't stop pushing boundaries with his music. Blade sees his music in conversation with the past and future. That conversation is literal in Chicago Kinfolk, an exploration of Chicago blues musicians through a sampling of public domain interviews about the essence of the genre, alongside Blade's original compositions and his version of "That's All Right." The song made made Elvis famous, but its originator, Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup, never saw a dime.

A close-up, of a Terry Blade a Black person with glowing blue eyes and lips, set against a blurred background. The image has a grainy, surreal quality.
