We probably haven’t paid as much attention to the Massachusetts band Misty Blues in recent years as we should have, but that doesn’t mean we need to keep living with that mistake! Here’s the latest single from the band from their upcoming album I’m Too Old for Games, the second in a series of recordings of live tributes to folk and blues great Odetta.
Although always a powerful song, the band takes it to a whole ‘nother level here, with vocalist Gina Coleman digging deep in the gravel almost from the start, balanced by some delicate violin, piano, guitar and sax from her colleagues.
We can’t blame you if you find yourself unable to hold off in tracking down more music from the band after hearing this one! Although the new album, which will include such other gems as “Weepin’ Willow Blues” and “Alabama Bound,” isn’t due out until early next month, you can at least check out the band’s first live tribute album to Odetta, Tell Me Who You Are, along with more than a dozen of other albums in the meantime!
