Description

180g Gatefold Sleeve Vinyl issue of the acclaimed album by HBO.

H.B.O. draws its sound from field hollers, work songs, spirituals, soaring gospel voices and the hard-driving rhythms of the deep Blues from the delta and the hill country of northern Mississippi.
The group is driven by three voices, two guitars, drums/percussion, harmonica and a fiery horn section (tuba, 2 trumpets, trombone, saxophone).

Spotlighting male and female voices, bold brassy sounds of New Orleans as well as modern jazz horn sounds and a heavy back beat, H.B.O. serves up a powerful and compelling new take on Americas Blues heritage. With an emphasis on musical exploration, Heritage Blues Orchestra digs into innovative musical territory making a unique and exhilarating contribution to the African-American musical canvas.
