Nora Jean Bruso - Going Back To Mississippi (2004)

Nora Jean Bruso is a Chicago blues singer with deep Delta roots. Recently named one of the ten great women in Chicago Blues by Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry, she possesses a voice that has been compared to KoKo Taylor's. This CD is an homage to Nora's musical heritage, and in addition to her own high octane Mississippi blues style, she performs two soul ballads, a rhumba and a jazz/blues number featuring Chicago guitar great, Dave Spector. Produced by Hammond B-3 ace Rob Waters, and recorded with a who's who of the Windy City blues scene: Carl Weathersby (guitar), Harlan Terson (bass), Marty Binder (drums), Brian Lupo (guitar), Jimmy Jacobs (guitar) and Ron Graham (sax).
