DETROIT – It’s been a long time. Indeed it has. Seven years
to be exact since the release of Luther Badman Keith’s last
CD, Thunder In My Blues, which won widespread critical acclaim. Read more >
Now, two years after first going into the studio, Keith,
his bandmates and other fellow musicians have released the
long awaited Blues Nation, a musical project that draws from
almost every element of America’s, musical landscape – blues,
rock, soul, funk and hints of Motown flavored with Afro and
Latin grooves and beats.

“Blues is at the center of everything I do in music, but
blues is a lot like hot sauce—you can put it on almost anything
and it’s gonna taste better,” Keith explained. “That’s why
you are going to find some good old fashioned blues songs
and some songs that use the blues to rise to a whole new level.”
That’s the intent of the title track, Blues Nation, in which
Keith takes the listeners on a journey across the United States,
painting a sonic picture of the impact of blues on lives and
lifestyles all across America.
“When you think about it, we are, in fact a Blues Nation,
from Atlantic to Pacific and even beyond,” Keith said. “We
wanted to capture that spirit in the song. It’s a song for
blues lovers and people who love any kind of American music.”
Guest performers on the CD includes The Original Vandellas,
Rosalind Holmes and Annette Helton, members of the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame, and Paul “Bluesman” Miles, a multiple Detroit
Music Awards winner.
Other performers on the CD include Milton Heavyfoot Austin
on drums, Darryl Lee bass, Jim David on keyboards, Keith Owens
on rhythm guitar, Mike Racette on percussion, Mark Croft on
trumpet, Billy Furman on saxophone and harmonica, and Jaki
G and Champagne Page on background vocals.
“James took me under his wing and mentored me and I still
think about him a lot,” Keith said. “In fact, when I started
the new CD, we talked about some of the new songs. His spirit
is definitely in my music.”
