2004 2-CD live soundtrack album produced by Martin Scorsese, recorded/filmed at the "Salute to the Blues" concert in NY in 2003 with a stellar cast of artists, including Levon Helm, who plays mandolin on track 4, "Sittin' on the Top of the World." Levon is also featured many times on the Lightning in a Bottle DVD.
The album was produced by Martin Scorsese, on the heels of his acclaimed multi-part PBS series "Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues." As he writes in the album's liner notes, "Through the generosity, enthusiasm and talent of an incredible, diverse array of musicians, the concert told the story of the blues, sketching its journey from Africa, up the Mississippi, to the cities of Memphis and Chicago, and from there to the world."
Indeed, "Lightning in a Bottle" features a host of notable pairings. James Blood Ulmer teams with Alison Krauss and the Band's Levon Helm on "Sittin' on top of the World," while veteran vocalist Odetta is backed by Dr. John, Ivan Neville and harmonica player Kim Johnson on "Jim Crow Blues." Natalie Cole, Mavis Staples and Ruth Brown join forces to sing "Men Are Just Like Street Cars," while Angelique Kidjo handles vocals on Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile" with Buddy Guy, Keb' Mo' and Living Colour's Vernon Reid on guitar.
Among the other acts appearing on the album include B.B. King, John Fogerty, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, india.arie, Solomon Burke, Bonnie Raitt, Gregg Allman and Warren Haynes, Robert Cray, Mos Def, Public Enemy's Chuck D and Macy Gray.
