Review

Chicago-based singer/songwriter Terry Blade crafts a consumingly atmospheric blues sound on his latest album Chicago Kinfolk: The Juke Joint Blues, intertwining the past and present with its infusions of archived interviews, original songwriting, and tributes to past greats. Specifically, the album pays tribute to past trailblazers in Chicago’s blues scene, both in the form of public domain samples and gripping blues songs.
