Various Artists - Eugene Blues

This compilation showcases some real talent, such as singer J. C. Rico on the electric "Drive By Blues," a melancholy and urgent inner-city anthem...David Jacobs-Strain and Walker T. Ryan capture the old Robert Johnson-Son House spirit...it's a handy snapshot of the local scene, with highlights strong enough to impress..." - Steve Knopper, Blues Access. "The anthology Eugene Blues...sketches a lively Oregon scene. Instrumentals from The HepCats, The JiveMasters and Rue de Blues are high points, the slinky, sax-and-B-3 sounds of The Deb Cleveland Band are another...J.C. Rico's deep soul ballad "Never Gonna Change" is amazing." - Jim DeKoster, Living Blues.
