Braithwaite & Whiteley – Night Bird Blues

Night Bird Blues is the next chapter in Diana Braithwaite & Chris Whiteley’s wide ranging tribute to the Blues of the 1930’s and 40’s. Once again they have chosen to take an acoustic and original approach. Their horizons have expanded to not only include the “Bluebird” sound so lovingly captured on their widely acclaimed “MORNING SUN” CD, but also to pay tribute to and affectionately evoke some of the smoother Blues classics of that era. The songs are all original compositions; the singing and playing is top notch. The result is Night Bird Blues.
