Blues Project - Anthology. Dble CD. (Polydor - 31452 9758-2) Essential two CD retrospective of this much underrated New York '60's psychedelic band who's name had little bearing on their rock/psych/jazz/pop music. Features 36 digitally remastered tracks including material from the bands three groundbreaking Verve albums and two Capitol albums as well as rare singles previously unreleased material and alternate versions. A 24 page booklet completes the package.

Blues Project - Bleeker Street Blues. CD. (Goldtone - GT-105) Recorded live in 1966 at the Matrix in San Francisco, this CD captures the New York band at their psychedelic best. With Steve Katz and Al Kooper this CD shows why they were regarded as one of the most acclaimed East Coast groups. Superb jams..

Blues Project - Lazarus / The Blues Project. CD. (Acadia - ACA8072) These 2 early 70's albums by the Blues Project are from the Danny Kalb line up with the first being produced by Shel Talmy (Who,Kinks,Creation) in the UK and the second by Gabriel Mekler (Steppenwolf) which includes David Cohen (C.J& the Fish) and the original Blues Project vocalist Tommy Flanders.Both albums include blues based psyche rock of the highest order.

Blues Project - Live At The Café Au Go Go. CD. (Recorded Works - ACA8070) A landmark album from the New York group who used the blues as a jumping off point for further experimentation. Recorded live at the famous venue in late 1965 and early 1968.The group featured Al Kooper fresh from Bob Dylan's "Blonde on Blonde" album sessions.The entire original vinyl album is included here along with six titles recorded at the same sessions.

Blues Project - Live At Town Hall. CD. More of a psychedelic rock and jazz band than yer actual blues band, this 1967 album captures the exciting live sound of one of the finest psych jamming bands on the East Coast. Al Kooper, Steve Katz and Danny Kalb would later go on to appear in the platinum selling Blood, Sweat and Tears.

Blues Project - Planned Obsolescence. CD. (One Way Records - OW 32642) On this 1968 album, the slimmed down Project show their love for all kinds of music by including a number of motifs within their own unique brand of rock. Utilising flutes and violins with flashes of middle eastern music and the odd classical motif, this is an accomplished album length stew of psych, jazz and rock.

Blues Project - Projections. LP. (Verve/forecast - FTS-3008) Easily the best album by this New York based band fearturing Al Kooper and Mike Bloomfield. The name is misleading since the band played in a psychedelic rock style with really excellent guitar and keyboard work. "I Can't Keep From Crying" and "Flute Thing" are particularly memorable excursions on this great album.

Blues Project - Reunion In Central Park. CD. (One Way Records - MCAD-22186) Reforming in 1973 to play this live show, the Blues Project showed that 3 years playing apart had not dimmed their enthusiasm, talent or capacity to make a fine blues and psych tinged jazz rock sound. A suitable epitaph to a great band.
