Roomful of Blues - Steppin' Out

"Brawny shuffles, swinging horns, searing guitar, passionate vocals and balls-to-the-wall enthusiasm" - LIVING BLUES
World-renowned, horn-powered, houserocking blues band releases their first new album in five years. Recipients of five Grammy nominations and winners of multiple Blues Music Awards (the Grammy of the blues), plus numerous victories in DownBeat's International Critics Poll, Roomful of Blues are celebrated coast to coast and around the world. Roomful of Blues continues to break new ground on Steppin' Out, debuting dynamic new vocalist DD Bastros, the band's first female singer. Roomful's muscular, horn-driven blues and high-voltage live performances have garnered media praise for decades. Steppin' Out adds powerful, soul-stirring vocalist DD Bastros to the band's potent, impeccable musicianship on an exhilarating mix of jump, swing, proto rock 'n' roll and funky, contemporary blues, including timeless gems first cut by Etta James, Big Mama Thornton, Jimmy McCracklin, Tiny Bradshaw and more. Bastos' and the band's emotional connection to the material is palpable from the first note to the last.
