Have you wound down from the Bluesfest at Byron? Do you miss the sounds, the weather, the waves and the people? Do you want to experience some of the artists once again at a great price and all on two CDs?
Well, you can do that with ease with The One and Only Bluesfest Double CD that gives you everyone from John Butler to Keith Urban. With 35 tracks on two CDs, you can close your eyes and picture yourself in the Jambalaya tent with Seasick Steve telling his stories on his less then six-string guitar, or Mavis Staples belting out soul between sips of oxygen. Mavis is represented here by Eyes On The Prize and Steve by Dog House Boogie.
Or maybe you had a great time in the Mojo Tent with G.Love, J.J. Gray and Mofro, and The Cat Empire through those five days of heaven in Northern New South Wales. Well, you can re-live all of that hear on this comprehensive collection in the comfort of your own home. Better yet, set up a tent in the yard and imagine you’re in Belongil Fields.
You might want to catch up with some of the fine female performers Byron had this year – and you can slip into You Look So Good by Clare Bowditch, The Story by the inspiring Brandi Carlile or a little bit of that infamous woman from Ireland, Sinead O’Connor. Feeling a bit country? You can always get your gumboots back on and dance to the harmonies of The McClymonts.
Don Mclean, Eskimo Joe, Wilco, Jools Holland and many more are here to remind you of the time you had under the full-moon at Byron, and how you should start making plans to get back there next year. It’s truly one of the greatest festivals in the world for the music, the people, and the waves.
